The event will be held in the press center of Gorshenin Institute
Ukrainian legislators plan to consider on Thursday, 19 October, a package of bills related to of cinematography (№№ 3238-р, 3239-р, 3240). These bills suggest changes in the tax, customs and budget codes and should be adopted in accordance with the approved in March Law № 1977- VIII "On State Support of Cinematography in Ukraine" and are part of the package.
The support mechanisms suggested in the legislation are designed to be the most important factors contributing to the protection of national cultural and information space from the actual and potential threats to national security of Ukraine in the humanitarian sphere.
