Additional information:

The Economic Court of Minsk satisfied the lawsuit of the state enterprise Belpochta against the publishing company Narodnaya Volya and ordered to pay compensation for unsold copies. In total, the private media outlet, which failed to print newspapers and failed to deliver copies to the post office and subscribers, is obliged to pay over BYN 108,000 to the applicant. Problems with the delivery of the newspaper to Belposhta arose at Narodnaya Volya after it was stopped to be printed first in August 2020 in the Belarusian Press House, and then in Russia. Narodnaya Volya is among the list of non-state media outlets, which have not been included by Belposhta in its subscription catalogue since last year.
