December 13, Pozirk<\/em>. <\/strong>Belgium’s Flemish Region will allocate \u20ac100,000 to support Belarusian journalists in exile, Belga News Agency<\/em> reported, citing Minister-President of Flanders Matthias Diependaele.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A free and independent media is essential for the protection of democratic values. With this support, Flanders is helping journalists who, under great pressure, continue to work for fair and reliable reporting,” Diependaele said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement follows his yesterday’s meeting with Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja in Brussels which hosts Belarus Days, a week-long series of events demonstrating the European Union\u2019s solidarity and continued commitment to the Belarusian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flanders also supports the Council of Europe’s Action Program 2024-2025, which provides for training and support to journalists in exile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On December 12, the EU said it would support Belarusian pro-democracy forced and independent media outlets with \u20ac30 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
