On the occasion of the (informal)
International Right to Know Day, Transparency Serbia organizes a half
day conference on the premises of the British Council. The conference itself will include several
segments and international speakers.
Prior to the beginning of this conference,
members and guests of Transparency Serbia will take part in a brief
street event in Knez Mihailova Street (Belgrade), in front of Ruski Car
restaurant. During the half hour long event, participants will hand out
advertising material (balloons, flayers and buttons) to passersby, with
adequate MEDIA coverage.
Since this law has extreme importance for the
further democratization process in Serbia and represents essential part
of anti-corruption legal framework, Transparency Serbia wishes to provide
additional MEDIA presence and raise public awareness of the significance
of adopting this law. This is why the TV and radio jingles will be produced
and broadcast on electronic MEDIA during the two days, September 27 and
28. Cooperation with B92 MEDIA Company has been assured so far, with
prospects of establishing cooperation with few other companies (Studio
B, BK…). Along with this,
the plan is to distribute advertising material adapted to being publicized
in print is planned to all the printed MEDIA TS has established cooperation
with (Danas, Glas javnosti, Blic, Vecernje novosti...). It is important
to state that the jingles will only be broadcast in the MEDIA companies
with which an agreement on MEDIA sponsorship is possible to be reached,
signifying that TS will not pay for broadcasting services. Moreover,
these companies will have the possibility to further broadcast this material
free of charge. Since the Internet has become an extremely important
medium and means of information, the jingles will also be presented here
at the organization's Internet site.
Basic slogan of this mini campaign
is ‘…BUT THEY WON'T
SAY', an allusion to the fact that there are information of public interest
that are, due to the laws currently in effect in Serbia, only accessible
to a limited number of state administration employees and people well
connected with authorities.
