Belarusian Printing House refused to print the independent regional newspaper Intex-press and unilaterally cancelled the contract. An e-mail was sent to the editorial office in the afternoon of May 9. The management of the printing house did not specify the reasons for such a decision. «We apologise and hope for mutual understanding», — it says at the end of the official letter. Due to the impossibility of the newspaper being printed, the editorial staff of Intex-press was forced to suspend the print version of the media from May 12.
