Media watchdog to decide on full ban of Russian TV channel in Lithuania

“The commission will hold a discussion and decide whether the whole program should be banned temporarily or not. If the decision is to ban it, the commission will have to decide on the timeframe,” the commission’s chairman Edmundas Vaitekūnas told BNS on Tuesday.

In his words, this would be a new precedent across the European Union, as no European country has so far decided to fully ban broadcasts of an EU-registered TV channel. The channel is registered in Great Britain.
