The Government is planing media campaigns for all crucial initiatives from the program for revival with the aim of educating the public. Each one of these campaigns will cost approximately 400,000 euros. The Government should not impose its ideas on citizens by force, sociologist Petar Atanasov from the Institute for Sociological, Political, and Legal Research stated. Government Spokesman Ivica Bocevski said that, with these campaigns, the Government wants to inform the public about the possibilities.

"The aim is to educate the public. These are not promotional campaigns. When we say education, we mean proper informing about issues related to common life and promotion of positive ideas and initiatives. This is not a new idea and we did not invent it. On the contrary, you can see the European Union's campaigns on 'EU-tube'," Bocevski said, citing the experiences with the campaigns promoted by the United States, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy.
