ROSTOV-ON-DON, 22 March, Caucasus Times. Deputy Presidential Representative in the Russia’s South Federal District Alexander Pochinok believes that financial resources from the federal center aimed at financing Chechen economy should be allotted only for well prepared and confirmed projects.

“Money will not be used and will be just lost. There will be no possibility to take those money back. Times when money in Russia used to be allotted only on the basis of somebody’s promises are gone. Financial resources are being allotted to concrete customer and to concrete project with the officially accepted documentation. But this is still not in place there”, – Pochinok indicated while commenting on the recent budget scandal in Chechnya.

In his words, budget was always formed taking into account the interests of Chechen Republic. He also emphasized that necessary assistance would be given to Chechnya to increase republican budget, “but at present there are not enough projects, which can be used for alloting those financial resources”.

Chechen People’s Assembly has recently rejected republican draft budget proposed by the government, which stipulated financing that equalled to 19 billion rubles. Chechen deputies requested to substancially increase financing of the republic.

We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
