At a meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the 7th European Ministerial Conference on Mass Media, specific measures for preparing the conference were discussed and approved. According to the public relations department of the secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the organizing committee meeting was held under the chairmanship of Vice Prime Minister Dmytro Tabachnyk. In May 2003, the Steering Committee of the Council of Europe on Media Issues in Strasbourg unanimously selected Ukraine as the venue for this conference. The main theme of the conference, which will take place on November 25-26, 2004 in Kyiv, is "Integration and Diversity: New Frontiers of European Policy in the Sphere of Media and Public Relations." The holding of the conference, noted D. Tabachnyk, will have a positive international resonance for Ukraine not only in Europe. "Our country can use it to promote its achievements in this sphere, which is important on the path to joining EU structures."
