The Russian Embassy in Uzbekistan has called on Russian journalists and bloggers planning to work in the country to strictly adhere to Uzbek laws.  

“In connection with the problematic situations that sometimes arise during the work of Russian media outlets in Uzbekistan, we would like to remind you once again that it is necessary to strictly comply with the legislation of the host country,” the embassy stated.  

The embassy also emphasized that Russian journalists and bloggers must secure proper accreditation from Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs before entering the country for work.  

For context, journalist Alexei Pivovarov and his film crew were recently detained temporarily in Nukus for violating Uzbek legislation by operating without the required accreditation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
