MINSK, 8 June (BelTA) - When creating a single information space it is important to retain the TV and Radio Broadcasting Organization of the Union State, which is the main channel for the dissemination of information about the Union State, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said when speaking at a plenary session of the 3rd Forum of Regions of Russia and Belarus, BelTA has learned.

Among the fundamentally important themes of the current forum is the development of the single information space, the Belarusian head of state said.

With regard to the TV and Radio Broadcasting Organization of the Union State, Alexander Lukashenka believes that “it must be developed, not ruined.”

He noted that unlike the Belarusian regions, where all major Russian TV channels broadcast, Belarus has only on channel Belarus 24 that broadcasts in Russia, and its coverage does not reach everywhere. “I will say straight: given the tense saturation of the Russian media space our channel needs your support in the regions,” Alexander Lukashenko stressed. In his opinion, it is very important that the Russians should receive objective information, should know how the Belarusians live.
