The secret of this of success lies in the fact that each site is actively involved in city life. We set ourselves the task of not only collecting the whole relevant information about the life of the city, but also constantly generate new ideas, we are engaged in the search for high-quality information lines, and we also conduct journalistic investigations, positioning yourself as truly high-quality regional media.
