If so far journalists were allowed to freely use drones for journalistic purposes, after the Civil Aviation Authority Regulation (CAA) will enter into effect, journalists will be allowed to use drones only after they will receive the approval from CAA and from other state bodies, and the request will be examined within 10 days.
 
Why do authorities wish to impose drone use restrictions to journalists? This is the topic discussed today, at Media Azi talk show, by journalist Anastasia Nani and her guests -  Oleg Tofilat, international expert in transportation and public policies, and Constantin Vozian, senior specialist at the Civil Aviation Authority.
