To foster 'cohesion' of information and the country

(ANSA) - VILNIUS, 14 NOV - The Estonian Ministry of Culture
has made available about 1 million euros to fund the private
Russian-language press published in Estonia. This is reported by
Estonian Radio and Television. The funds, allocated through a
public tender, are a means to stimulate greater independence of
private Russian-language media and diversify their content. The
measure aims, not least, to foster greater "cohesion" of
information and society within the country. In Estonia, the
Russian minority makes up more than 23 percent of the total
population. (ANSA).
