Short description
Starting in 2002, MDR has been producing a new television magazine entitled "Let's Be Good Neighbors", and looks at topics in Eastern Europe. The objective is to inform the viewers about political, social, cultural and economic changes in Eastern Europe, especially Poland and the Czech Republic, as they will soon become members of the EU. The topics may be of interest not only from the political point of view but are showing the everyday life of people in these Eastern parts of Europe. Six programmes have been produced since January 02.

The programme is reaching very good audience rates in both countries.

Running time - 28'

Latest development
An excerpt was shown in the copro workshops during the CR conference in Kosice. MDR is interested in an exchange of programs with other TV stations from Eastern Europe, especially Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic and Hungary.
