Copenhagen – The State Secretary at the Ministry of Culture Marko Rusjan emphasized at an informal meeting of culture and media ministers in Copenhagen on Tuesday that modern European society does not need a larger quantity of information, but rather credible information. In his opinion, the EU should systematically strengthen public media, which are available to all residents under the same conditions, as well as other media that have an independent editorial policy and respect journalistic standards in the age of social media.

“To understand the new media environment, it is essential to develop and strengthen media literacy, also through concrete programs and financial incentives at the EU level,” he said at the meeting.

According to the ministry’s announcement, the ministers and state secretaries of EU member states also addressed the issue of the future of European content and the circulation of quality European production. They discussed cross-border cooperation, new production models, and additional support for creators from smaller language environments. “If we want a strong common European cultural space, we must provide creators, regardless of market size, with comparable conditions for development and breakthrough to audiences,” said Rusjan.
