Excerpt:
Tacan Ildem, Assistant NATO Secretary General for Public Diplomacy, recently participated in the 5th NATO Week in Belgrade, where he spoke to EWB about the visibility of Serbia-NATO partnership and the threat of Russian propaganda and fake news, which recently became a hot topic in both the United States and Europe. ...
“From NATO’s part, one important thing is that we are not countering propaganda with propaganda. What we are trying to do is to make sure that NATO’s story, and when I say story I mean the facts, are prominently featured in information space so that people have knowledge of what is really going on, and do not get carried away with any trace of fake news.”
For Ildem, “resilience also means, for journalists, for instance, that it is important that you check your sources, trace it back, see how reliable sources are and to what extent you can take it as something of a true nature.”
According to him, it is very important for NATO to cooperate with the EU in order to counter fake news and propaganda.
“I think it is important for all countries to cooperate and NATO is cooperating with EU in that respect, and this provides an opportunity to be well understood by the audience.”
