In order to provide the representatives of the media with the opportunity for coordinated and smooth coverage of events of March 16 in the centre of Rīga, the State Police will be conducting media accreditation prior to the event and will distribute vests that allow accredited representatives of the media to be clearly distinguished.
Accreditation Procedure:
To ensure faster and more convenient signup, we kindly ask all media representatives who will participate in coverage of events of March 16 to fill out the media accreditation form. On Wednesday, March 16, from 8:00am until the end of the event, there will be a minibus marked "Press Accreditation" at the intersection of Zigrfīda Anna Meierovica bulvāris and Kaļķu iela (on the McDonald's side). Here, the representatives of the Public Relations Division will hand out coloured vests for the media representatives who will have filled out the accreditation form. In order to receive the vest, a media representative will have to present a certificate or other document certifying that they are in fact a representative of the media. If the press/media representative does not possess such a document, the personal identification document must be presented. In such a case, we ask that the representative clearly specify on the accreditation form that the personal identification document will be presented for obtaining the vest. Without any of the afore-mentioned documents, it will not be possible to obtain the vests! Movement at the venue of the event may be limited to persons who are not wearing the distinctive vests. After the event, we ask that you please remember to return the vest to the minibus of the State Police. With the vests, the media representatives will be able to move around and work freely in the venue of the event.For more detailed information on accreditation, please contact Toms Sadovskis (tel. 27878155) or Dairis Anučins (tel. 29402290).
