Medijsko zakonodavstvo u Bosni i Hercegovini i Republici Hrvatskoj
Media legislation in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia

Summary/Abstract: Considering the fact that the Republic of Croatia is very close to completion of negotiations for accession to the European Union and that Bosnia and Herzegovina also aspires to European integrations, it is interesting to see how these states’ legislations protect freedom of speech, freedom of expression, right to access information and is the media legislation adjusted to standards required for access to European integrations. The paper, however, shows how legislative acts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, related to media, are positively adjusted to the legal acquisition of the European Union, the way in which provisions of the international legal acts such as the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights are woven into the legislation of these two countries. Reviewing the legal acts related to media, it is evident that the legal protection of freedom of speech, expression, thought and freedom of media in general is protected adequately and in accordance with standards that are achieved in the most developed legal systems.
