Chisinau, 10 February /MOLDPRES/ – The anti – propaganda law, providing several modifications to the code of audiovisual (CA), came into force today.

The government will have three months from the date of its publication to bring its normative acts in accordance with the given law and submit to parliament proposals on adjusting national legislation within new amendments CA.
