Access by the media is encouraged as of 13h30. Media representatives should bear in mind that security checks will take some time, and that space in the main entrance is limited.

They will have to present an ID and a valid press card (provided by a recognized national professional body of a NATO country - i.e. government, professional association or union, etc.)
