[02] SPOKESMAN - CYPRUS ISSUE - ENLIGHTENMENT
Enlightenment for the Cyprus issue for 2010 is estimated to be
significantly upgraded, according to the budget that was presented on
Monday by Government Spokesman Stephanos Stephanou at the House Finance
Committee. He told members of the House that the aim is to upgrade the
enlightenment campaign of the state, in line with the Cabinet decision
of last June.
According to the new planning, the Government Spokesman will bear the
political monitoring of the Press Offices of the Republic overseas and
will provide the guidelines on issues that appear in the media. The
state budget for 2010 includes 1.430.000 euros for enlightenment
allocated for the Press and Information Office and additional funds for
enlightenment for other ministries.
Stephanou told members of the Committee that each country should have
allocated its enlightenment funds. The priorities in the US are
different, just as the priorities in the EU and Arab countries as well
as third world countries are, he added.
