(RSF/IFEX) - RSF has welcomed Serbian President Boris Tadic's refusal to promulgate legislative amendments passed by parliament on 19 July 2006 that would have given the country's Broadcasting Council the power to impose arbitrary sanctions.

"We hail the president's decision and we hope parliament will heed the criticism by withdrawing those amendments that violated press freedom," the organisation said.

The proposed package of amendments will be debated again during the next parliamentary session beginning in September.
