Media related issues on Civil Society Forum agenda
11.03.2011 | Publications
The
media situation in the Eastern Partnership countries and the challenges
of digitalization in the region were the focus of an off-schedule
meeting of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) Civil Society Forum (CSF) Media
Sub-Working Group, held on 21-24 February in Istanbul. A press release
from the CSF said country reports from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus,
Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine would serve as a basis for a joint report,
to be presented in the next few months.
A special session
of the Istanbul meeting, organized by the Yerevan Press Club and
co-sponsored by the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation, dealt with
the media freedom in Belarus following the December 2010 presidential
elections.
The Head of Media
Section of the Council of Europe, Ivan Nikoltchev, told the participants
about CoE plans to promote media in the countries of the region. A
draft report from the CSF human rights subgroup, highlighting the
results of the human rights monitoring in the EaP countries, was
presented at the meeting “with the aim of coordinating the efforts of
different CSF divisions,” the press release said. (ENPI Info Centre)
