The Moldova Copyright Association hosted a conference. The goal of the conference was to establish a new platform for copyright agencies against Russian intervention in the post-soviet space. The decision was made to create a cooperation platform that will deter Russian aggression. The platform will soon be officially established. Supposedly, this decision was made as an answer to the news, that Russian Oligarch Krachevsky was trying to create satellite copyright agencies in the post-soviet countries. The conference was attended by representatives of copyright organizations of Sweden, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Ukraine, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, as well as CISAC.
