"All too often throughout history, democratic societies and its institutions ignored the threat of an aggressive and lying information policy of their opponents, and when they realized its scale – it was too late. I am all the more pleased about our meeting at the Royal Castle in Warsaw and the declaration that will be signed today. This is an important step in building true European solidarity in defending the fundamental value of freedom of expression based on reliable, verified information prepared by reliable sources"said Valentin-Alexandru Jucan, vice-president of the Romanian National Audiovisual Council during the "Stop Disinformation and Russian Propaganda" summit.
