Newsletter n. 44 del 10 marzo 2010:

 Il Mese di Balcanicooperazione

2000-2010, dieci anni di informazione e approfondimento, dieci anni di Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso. E per il nostro decennale abbiamo preparato un nuovo portale che andrà on-line lunedì prossimo, 15 marzo, con un nuovo dominio: www.balcanicaucaso.org. Vi saranno molte novità, una fra tutte: il nuovo portale riunirà in un’unica homepage l’informazione sul sud-est Europa, quella sul Caucaso e gli approfondimenti legati al mondo della cooperazione.

La sezione “cooperazione” del nuovo portale raccoglierà l’eredità di ciò che per anni è stato www.balcanicooperazione.it. Ne riprenderà tutti i contenuti e, come valore aggiunto, li integrerà pienamente nell’intera produzione di Osservatorio. Un modo per rilanciare, quindi.

Questa che ricevete è quindi l’ultima newsletter di BalcaniCooperazione. Ma non smetteremo di informarvi su questi temi, a noi e voi cari. I materiali prodotti sulla cooperazione li troverete nella newsletter settimanale di Osservatorio, e sarà a breve a disposizione un efficace sistema di bulkmail: chiunque potrà scegliere di essere avvisato via e-mail qualora, in una sezione di suo interesse, venisse pubblicato un nuovo articolo. Buona lettura e buona navigazione a tutti.

 Informal Meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers Tallinn, Estonia - 22-23 April 2010

1. Information

Ministers of Foreign Affairs will hold informal meetings in Tallinn, Estonia, on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 April 2010, under the chairmanship of the NATO Secretary General, Mr Anders Fogh Rasmussen. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, His Excellency Mr Urmas Paet will host the meetings.

2. Programme and pools

The detailed programme will be given to media representatives when they collect their accreditation. All duly accredited media representatives are invited to a Media reception that will take place on 22 April, in the evening.

The program will entail restricted access by selected visual media to the opening of Council meetings and the official portrait, the unrestricted access to press conferences and the retransmission of media events to the press working area and TV/Radio editing booths. Information about individual ministerial media programmes should be sought directly from the national Delegation(s) concerned. A list of NATO Delegation press officers will be available at the information desk in the Media Centre.

Press conferences are in principle media events open to all accredited media. The initial remarks of the various NATO meetings will be broadcast live on the internal closed-circuit television system and can be viewed in the press working area. Audiovisual media representatives who wish to cover the initial remarks from inside the Council room may make a written request for a pool card to the NATO media coordinator (e-mail address given at the end of this advisory). No confirmation will be sent. Pool cards for restricted-access events will be given to a small number of cameramen and photographers drawn from among those who submit an accreditation request on time; these will be distributed at the Media Centre information counter starting at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, 22 April 2010.

When a media representative accepts a NATO pool position it is with the strict understanding, in accordance with international practice, that the act of accepting the accreditation to be in a NATO pool implies explicit and unconditional agreement by that media representative that he/she will share immediately and upon request with other media accredited to the NATO event all information collected, and/or all material produced, while in that pool. It also implies explicit agreement that the media representative will share the material with no impediment from their own news organization, at no charge to other journalists and with no restriction on the use of the material for legitimate news purposes. Media representatives can only accept the pool accreditation if they have the explicit backing of their employer to all of the conditions on providing pool material as the basis of accepting the pool position.

Photographers seeking pool photo materials should first contact the Wire service photo agency of which they are a member or client. Media representatives and the news organizations that employ them who accept any material from a pool accept it with the explicit and strict understanding that it must be identified as pool material any time it is used, that it can be used only for legitimate news purposes and that the receiving party has no right to sell pool material or otherwise profit from it.

The NATO photographers and cameramen will post the audiovisual sequences of all the media events on the NATO website; the sequences can also be obtained from the TV & Radio Unit (see the contact details below) and/or the NATO Internet Television Channel.

3. Venues

The Radisson Blu Hotel (Rävala pst. 3, Tallinn) and the Swissotel Tallinn (Tornimäe 3, Tallinn) are the venues for the ministerial meetings. The Media Centre and the Media Accreditation Office will be located at the Olümpia Hotel (Liivalaia 33, 10118 Tallinn).

4. Public Diplomacy event

At the margins of the ministerial meetings, the International Center for Defence Studies in cooperation with NATO Public Diplomacy Division will organize the annual Lennart Meri Conference “Tomorrow’s NATO – Stronger Values and Stronger Capabilities”, which will take place between 21–23 April at the Nordic Hotel Forum. Interested media may contact Mr. Kaarel Kaas (email: kaarel@icds.ee; phone: +372.6949.340; mobile +372.514.8950). More details on Lennart Meri conferences are available at: http://lmc.icds.ee/.

5. Accreditation and security checks

Media representatives wishing to cover the ministerial meetings need to request accreditation. Applications for accreditation can only be made electronically on-line via internet by clicking on the following link: https://my.hq.nato.int

Applications for accreditation should be made no later than 12h00 GMT on Monday 19 April 2010. Applications received after that date may encounter delay or be rejected. Late applications will not be taken into consideration for the pools. Media representatives who have submitted the request for accreditation via the internet are encouraged to bring a print-out of the request confirmation.

The usual NATO accreditation procedures shall be applicable to this meeting. The accreditation process requires interested media representatives to create a user name and password and to provide a digital picture (3.5 x 4.5 cm passport-size photograph in JPEG format).

The NATO accreditation platform is being modernized, so media representatives who already have an account in the old system but have not yet activated their account in the new system are asked to follow these steps:

Click on the following link (https://my.hq.nato.int/). In the right-hand column of the Web page, click on “Forgot your password?” (1) and enter the e-mail address that was in your JAS accreditation profile (2) (an access code will be sent to that address). Next click on the “Forgot password” button (3) and check your e-mail. Then return to the home page (https://my.hq.nato.int/) and click on “Registered user”. You will be asked to enter your e-mail address and the access code that was sent to you. You can change this access code/password after logging in for the first time.

Please contact us directly by email if you have connection problems or any other questions (press-at-tallinn@hq.nato.int).

Access to the Media Centre requires a media pass issued at the Accreditation Office. Media passes will not be mailed to applicants and must be picked up in person at the Media Accreditation Office upon presentation of a valid I.D. card or passport and a valid press card (or letter of accreditation from a recognized media organization).

Passes must be worn visibly at all times and secondary identification may always be asked for by security personnel. Media representatives are informed that security personnel will examine and may test equipment and personal effects carried onto the site, and they are advised to arrive with sufficient lead time to clear security checks.

President Dmitri Medvedev, on 3 February 2010, announced the formation of two institutions to amplify Russia’s voice in a global debate on international issues: the Alexander Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Foundation and the Russian Council on International Affairs.

 Please find enclosed next issue of the Bulletin: “Resumption of Bilateral Indian-Pakistani Talks” by Patryk Kugiel.

For the first time since the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks India and Pakistan held official diplomatic talks on 25 February. Although there were only limited results of the meeting, it was an important step towards full resumption of the Indian-Pakistani peace dialogue. The future of this process still depends mainly on Pakistan’s policy towards terrorist organizations operating in the country and attacking targets in India. Any potential improvement in India-Pakistan relations could have a major impact on security in Southern Asia and help the task of stabilization of Afghanistan.
