We addressed the challenges faced in the OSCE region, particularly concerning media freedom and independence, said Georgian Foreign Minister, reflecting on her meeting with Jan Braathu, the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, during the OSCE Ministerial.

“We also discussed ongoing campaigns related to disinformation and efforts to counter it. This is a particularly sensitive issue for Georgia, as often, based on unsubstantiated information, specific campaigns are carried out against our country through the media.

We spoke about the media’s role in political affairs, issues of media freedom, and the broader OSCE space. We also discussed areas for cooperation. As an OSCE participating state, Georgia values the importance of collaboration within the framework of OSCE institutions. We will continue consultations and work closely with our partners”, - said Maka Botchorishvili.
