(ANSA) - BELGRADE, FEB 10 - The Central European Digital Media Observatory (CEDMO) launched today a new website to debunk misinformation in Central Europe. The so-called CEDMO hub, available at www.cedmohub.eu, will "provide the public and governments with the necessary means to verify information and counter information disorders in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland," CEDMO said.

The initiative, led by Charles University in Prague, includes the participation of the news agency AFP, higher education institutions, technological companies and fact checking organisations. "In mapping out vulnerabilities to disinformation in Central Europe and proposing mitigation by a stronger AI-assisted fact-checking, media literacy education, research and data-based interventions, in CEDMO we aim to strengthen interdisciplinary and international cooperation in order to support regional resilience, social cohesion, wellbeing and democracy in our countries," said Vaclav Moravec, CEDMO Project Coordinator.
