The amendments to the Law governing HRT include forming an agreement between the government and the broadcaster that would include a commitment of 5-year programming and a financial framework. HRT would be financed by both fees and commercials. The duration of advertisements would be limited to nine minutes per hour, and to six minutes between the hours of 6pm and 10pm, the Croatian portal Business reports.
