No. 49/5
On strengthening countermeasures
[against] articles in the opposition press.
In accordance with the letter
of the presidential administration of the Republic of Belarus of March
17, 1998 no. 10/89 and order of the president of the Republic of Belarus
on the need to strengthen countermeasures against articles in the opposition
press and concerning the presidentially-approved conceptual approaches
on the perfection of the work of the state mass-media, we consider it necessary
to take the following measures:
· To ban the passing
of any official documents (orders, decisions, resolutions etc.) to the
non-state media by ministries, state committees and other organs of state
management;
· To inform state
officials that commentary on official documents to the opposition mass-media
is not permitted;
· To forbid state
establishments and enterprises to place advertisements in opposition newspapers
[as these] are a major source of income for these newspapers.
The fulfillment of these
recommendations lies under the control of the president.
