In this way, we want to support the activities of daily print media for the creation and production of content of public interest, in order to exercise the right of citizens to be informed and educated on all issues, problems and consequences related to the coronavirus. The Government's goal is timely, credible, professional and objective public information on the coronavirus, as well as protection against disinformation and fake news, Minister Bogdanović said.
