1.2. Accreditation of journalists at the IMBRICS Plus Business Communications Foundation within the framework of the International Municipal BRICS Cooperation Project is carried out by the press service of the Centre for Public Relations and Mass Media of the Organising Committee of the IMBRICS Plus Business Communications Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the IMBRICS Press Service) in order to widely, promptly and freely disseminate objective information about activities of the International Municipal BRICS Forum (hereinafter – IMBRICS Forum), creating the necessary conditions for journalists to carry out their professional activities when covering the work of the International Municipal BRICS Cooperation Project.

1.3. Mass media representatives officially registered on the territory of the Russian Federation in accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation of December 27, 1991, N 2124-1 (edition of July 1, 2021) ‘On Mass Media’ have the right to accreditation with the IMBRICS Forum.

1.4. Accreditation may be permanent or temporary. Permanent accreditation is granted to journalists who regularly and reliably cover the activities of the IMBRICS+ Forum, with whom an information partnership agreement has been concluded.
