# Ministry of Information and Telecommunications

The ministry hands out state funding for media through open calls and brings misdemeanour proceedings against local governments that are late with their media funding calls. According to UNS, in 2026 it brought proceedings against those responsible in 14 local governments but did not say which ones, and it did not answer a freedom of information request even after the legal deadline had passed.
