Law on General Elections, Article 49, paragraphs 2 and 10.

49.2. Broadcasters which choose to air paid political advertising are required to offer a minimum number of minutes of free airtime to each certified political entity during the campaign period.
49.10. The total time of aired free political advertising spots on one broadcaster shall have a maximum of twenty (20) minutes per certified political entity.

Comment

Broadcasters who choose to air paid political advertisements must allocate a minimum number of free broadcast minutes to each certified political entity throughout the campaign period. The total duration of political advertising spots aired without charge on any given broadcaster cannot exceed twenty minutes for a certified political entity. This obligation applies to all media companies, including public and private ones.
