The Assembly re-adopted the Law on Electronic Communications, as well as amendments to the Law on Copyright and Related Rights.

53 MPs voted for the Law on Electronic Communications and accompanying amendments, while two amendments proposed by MPs of the Citizens' Movement URA did not get the green light.

Amendments to the Copyright Act were adopted with 54 votes of deputies, all of whom were "for", and all amendments were also adopted.

The Electronic Communications Act regulates this sector, and the goal is to achieve compliance with EU legislation and close Chapter 10. It also changes the method of election of the Council of the Agency for Electronic Communications and Postal Activities (EKIP).

The Government approved the proposal of this Law at a telephone session on September 16, and the Minister of Economic Development, Nik Đeljošaj, previously explained to "Vijesta" that they had agreed with the European Commission (EC) to process the law, while the recommendations of the EC will be included in the Law as Government amendments. .

At the beginning of the year, the president of the country, Jakov Milatović, returned the changes to this regulation to the parliament for a new decision, because it was not aligned with the EU acquis. Then on January 19, the amendments did not receive the support of deputies in the Assembly, as 38 of them abstained and four were against.
