KYIV. April 28 (Interfax-AVN) - Ukraine's 2008 national budget should allot an extra 10 million hryvni for an information campaign about NATO, according to a National Security and Defense Council resolution of March 21, 2008, which President Viktor Yushchenko put into effect on Friday.
The government has been instructed to take measures to endorse a state program for informing the public about Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration in 2008-2011. In addition, the government has been given two weeks to develop extra measures on informing Ukrainians about NATO in 2008.
The government will have to task one of its deputy prime ministers with personally controlling the implementation of the Euro-Atlantic integration program and appoint a government committee to do the job itself.
The government will also have to report the president every quarter of the year about measures taken by executive and other government bodies to promote Ukraine's Euro-Atlantic integration.
