Lida to host Union State TV Media Festival in 2015

        The Union State TV Media Festival is planned to be held in Lida in 2015, Chairman of Belarus’ House of Representatives’ permanent commission on human rights and mass media Andrei Naumovich said after the meeting with a delegation of Ukrainian journalists in the Grodno Oblast Executive Committee.
In his words, this issue was considered and approved at a meeting of the Union State commission. Very soon the work will be launched in cooperation with the Information Ministry. There are plans to host the festival at the Lida television and radio association in 2015. The project will be financed from the Union State budget. 
       Andrei Naumovich stressed the importance of hosting various international events with the participation of mass media in order to inform on the situation in various spheres of life in other countries. During the media tour to Grodno Oblast Ukrainian journalists got familiar with the activity of social and production facilities of the region, its historical and cultural landmarks and tourism potential and will be able to tell their subjective impressions to their fellow nationals when they return home. The same goal will be pursued by the festival.
