Tender for TV licences continues for second day

The procedure for granting four boradcasting licences continued for a second day at the offices of the General Secretariat of Information and Communications (GGEE) on Wednesday.

The tender started on Tuesday with 8 candidates after Epsilon TV withdrew, as it did not meet the requirements. The results of the lengthy process may be announced tonight, or early on Thursday, it was made known. According to the rules, none of the candidates will be allowed to leave the building until all four licenses have been auctioned off.

The GGEE building was thoroughly checked by police and sealed ahead of the tender. Throughout the process, participants will remain in specified areas and will only be allowed to leave their room accompanied. They were also not allowed to use personal computers, wireless devices and mobile phones to avoid jeopardizing the process.

Journalists have been camped outside since Tuesday, at a distance from the building.
