The Ministry of Culture to develop criteria for banning pornography

The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine intends to set up a public board of experts on protection of public morality, which will develop the criteria for the classification of products to the pornography, reports the Ministry's press service.

This was decided at a meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Culture, the heads of national creative unions, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Finance and the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting.
