Prime Minister Vladimir Putin greets the participants and guests of Vsya Rossia festival under the auspices of the Union of Russian Journalists
The message reads, in part:
"I am convinced that such meetings provide an excellent opportunity for a broad-based and involving discussion of pressing professional issues, for an exchange of experience and joint implementation of important initiatives. The fact that your priorities include improving the legislative base of the media market and regional media development is very important.
"Traditional round table discussions, master classes and meetings with renowned politicians, public figures and academics significantly enrich the forum's extensive agenda. The substantial attention that you always pay to promoting socially important, educational and charity projects, as well as targeted assistance to the families of the deceased colleagues and those in need merits special recognition."
