Czech public broadcasters to start airing election spots this week

The country’s national broadcasters, Czech Radio and Czech Television, will start airing the election spots of the thirty political parties, movements and coalitions that are running in the European elections, on Wednesday. By law, they can fill a total of 14 hours in each of these public service media.
