“We are in constant contact with editorial boards across the continent, we try to help each other and share know-how. And thanks to the fact that CT will now also have a formal place in the committee, it will have more opportunities to influence not only the exchange of intelligence materials, which form the core of cooperation, but also other important projects, including their financing. All this for the benefit of our viewers, “said Řezníček.
