Press Centre at the Polish-Belarusian border of the European Union
01.12.2021
The crisis at the eastern border of the European Union is an organised action controlled and supervised by Belarusian services. It is the greatest attempt to destabilise the European Community in the last 30 years. We must fight against provocations and disinformation. To this end, a Press Centre will be established at the border; it will be opened on 3 December. It will support ongoing communication concerning the situation at the border. Thanks to appropriate infrastructure, it will enable journalists to work on site.
Press Centre for Polish and foreign journalists
Friday, 3 December, will mark the opening of a Press Centre for correspondents who report on the situation at the Polish-Belarusian border of the European Union. The Centre will hold press conferences as well as special workshops with experts on Eastern issues concerning the geopolitical situation.
