"For almost four years media market of our country and region lives in conditions of increased turbulence and struggles with both internal and external challenges, building business models in line with the up-to-date realities. For balanced development of the industry it is necessary to build relations in the domestic market and business processes within the country properly, as well as to work consistently with foreign territories and partners.
