In addition, the EU Ambassador emphasized the importance of the EU Prize:



“[…] Who to trust? In the world strongly affected by disinformation, misinformation, manipulation, polarisation, hate speech and other vices, this is the fundamental question. While answering it, I believe we have no choice except for going back to basics – we need to trust journalism based on ethics and responsibility, which is at the core of quality journalism.”
