In November 2009, Nova TV was forced to broadcast the series after 10 pm when the Croatian Electronic Media Agency (Croatian: Agencija za elektroničke medije) determined the series is not appropriate to air in the earlier time slot it was originally allocated to.{{cite web|url=https://www.24sata.hr/show/trenutak-istine-od-danas-u-terminu-nakon-22-sata-144593|title='Trenutak istine' od danas u terminu nakon 22 sata|date=12 November 2009|publisher=24sata|first=Bruno|last=Serdar|access-date=18 December 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241218222657/https://www.24sata.hr/show/trenutak-istine-od-danas-u-terminu-nakon-22-sata-144593|archive-date=18 December 2024}}
