statements which concern two ethnic minorities: Lipovan Russians and Lipovan Ukrainians. The Committee set down that the article promotes an adverse image for the two ethnic groups mostly living in The Delta of Danube, because the author eliminates references to the building of the Bistroe Channel, a controversial and disputed matter, both domestically and internationally. The author of the article creates a hostile, degrading, humiliating and offensive environment against the two minorities, referring to the dishonest attitude of their members, considering it to be a specific feature of the two nations from which those persons originate. The two ethnic minorities are accused of having allowed and encouraged during and after the second world war the access of „Bolshevik spies” on the Romanian territory.

Through decision no. 26 of 11.01.2005, the Committee ascertained that the notified deeds are direct discrimination and it decided to sanction the defendant by warning.
