Euronews in Ukrainian language to appear on First National TV channel
President Viktor Yushchenko met Euronews President and Executive Director Philipp Cayla. The meeting was held on the occasion of signing an Agreement on September 11 between the National TV and Radio Broadcasting Company and the Euronews information service on setting up the Ukrainian language version of the Euronews. The matter concerns a 15 minute newscast from Monday and till Friday on the First National TV channel (the agreement is valid till the year end with its following prolongation).
The President highly appraised setting up by the NTRC and the Euronews a short version of the well-known European TV channel. In his conviction, the European state cannot be aside of the world integration processes, including in the information sphere.
“This project is one of small pages of our Eurointegration, since it is the thing that can make us closer most of all - the unified information space”, he said.
According to Philippe Cayla, next step of cooperation should be work over full Ukrainian version of Euronews.
