Пресса, в добрый путь!

The press used to be sworn at for many times… It may be truth except for the press at “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk”. During the Festival journalists are united into a single group of associates, who are called upon to express not only festival events objectively but also the whole mood of the festival Vitebsk. Articles, comments, reviews have been flying to all parts of the world from the International press center for 15 years.

For the 15th time Rodion Bass, the director of the Board of Festival Directors, has given his blessing to journalists for difficult, intensive, but very necessary work. The Opening of the International press center started with such kind parting words.

Sergey Bulatskiy, the Deputy of the Minister of Information of the Republic of Belarus, warmly greeted journalists too.

Pavel Legkiy, a head of clipping service of the President of the Republic of Belarus, draw attention to the organization of journalists’ work at the Festival.

It must be noted that over 350 representatives of Mass Media have been accredited at the Festival this year.

So it can be said with great assurance that the Festival-2006 will sparkle, shine with all colors of rainbow in various printed articles and TV programs.
