Chair of BAJ Included into Supervisory Council of CEC

BAJ Applies to Take Part in the Super­vi­so­ry Coun­cil on the Media of CEC dur­ing Par­lia­men­tary Elec­tions

Lidziya Yarmoshy­na, the head of CEC, remarked that Andrei Bas­tunets is polite, con­struc­tive and able to work in team. “I think his opin­ion will be dif­fer­ent from opin­ions of oth­er mem­bers of the Coun­cil, and it will help take qual­i­ty deci­sions while resolv­ing argu­ments dur­ing the pre-elec­toral agi­ta­tion,” she said.

Mikalay Laza­vik, the sec­re­tary of CEC, remind­ed that at the pre­vi­ous pres­i­den­tial elec­tion, BAJ had also made ana­log­i­cal appli­ca­tion. The appli­ca­tion was dis­missed then as that Coun­cil team of state media rep­re­sen­ta­tives “refused cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly to work with rep­re­sen­ta­tives of the oppo­si­tion jour­nal­ist orga­ni­za­tion.”

Lidziya Yarmoshy­na under­lined that deci­sions of the Coun­cil bear advi­so­ry char­ac­ter.
