MINSK, 8 January (BelTA) – In the latest episode of the documentary series Time Chose Us aired by the Belarus 1 TV channel Press Secretary of the President of Belarus Natalya Eismont named the criteria used by the head of state to decide who to give interview to, BelTA reports.
“We are open to all kinds of interviews. Of course, it is impossible to satisfy all requests for interviews. But I can say that we carefully consider, study and analyze each incoming request (be it a request coming from an international news agency, a television channel or a smaller media outlet). The only criterion the head of state sets for us is relevance, hot topics on the agenda. The presidential schedule, as we know, is extremely busy. Everything must be done in a business-like manner,” said Natalya Eismont.
Speaking about the high interest of the world media in Belarus in 2015, Aleksandr Lukashenko’s press secretary noted that it was due to many factors, including the hot phase of the conflict in the south-east of Ukraine, and the Normandy Four peace talks that took place in Minsk, and the build-up to the presidential election in Belarus.
“In 2015, we had about a dozen major media events. In other words, practically every month the president spoke with journalists in one format or another,” noted Natalya Eismont
