Public information process implies the involvement of the three participants: organisation, media, public opinion. The Press Office's mission is to promote and maintain a good cooperation with the representatives of mass media, with the aim of providing a flow of information to the general public, so as to create and develop a favourable image of the structures within which it operates.

Public information techniques used are: news releases, press release, article, letter of invitation, press campaign, interview, press conference, briefing, working visits.
