Albania has been selected to host the 12th Broadcasting Regulatory Authorities Forum (BRAF) of BSEC countries, following the successful 11th meeting held in Baku, which brought together media regulators from across the Black Sea region.

Albania has been announced as the host of the 12th meeting of the Broadcasting Regulatory Authorities Forum (BRAF) of Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) member states. The announcement was made during the 11th BRAF session, which officially opened in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Organised by Azerbaijan’s Audiovisual Council, the 11th BRAF meeting gathered approximately 30 senior officials and representatives from audiovisual media regulatory bodies across the region. Participants included delegates from Serbia, Romania, Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Türkiye, Moldova, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. Officials from Azerbaijan’s State Committee for Family, Women, and Children’s Affairs, the Media Development Agency, and various media organisations also took part.

BRAF plays a vital role in fostering dialogue and cooperation among the broadcasting regulatory authorities of BSEC countries. The forum provides a platform for exchanging ideas, sharing best practices, and enhancing regional collaboration in the media sector.

The event in Baku reinforced the importance of strengthening media regulation and cross-border cooperation, with Albania now set to carry the torch for the next annual gathering.
