Abstract. The informational reference highlights the need to balance the fundamental rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights: freedom of expression (Article 10) and the right to a fair trial (Article 6), which is an imperative to fulfill the requirements of negotiating chapter 23 of Cluster 1 "Fundamentals of the EU accession process."
It is emphasized that within the framework of the European integration process, it is critically important to accelerate the harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of persons involved in public activities against manifestly unfounded lawsuits or abuse of judicial procedures ("Strategic lawsuits against public participation", (Anti-SLAPP)), the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Single Market for Digital Services (Digital Service Act, (DSA)) and the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a common framework for media services in the internal market (European Media Freedom Act, (EMFA)).
The balance of relations involves the transition of the judiciary to proactive communication and the use of digital tools to explain its decisions to a wide audience. The key to its sustainability is the development of interprofessional cooperation (Soft Law) and adherence to the fundamental concept of human dignity as the main ethical and legal foundation.
Key words: rule of law, balance of fundamental rights, populism, public trust, impartiality of the judiciary, institutional communication barrier, harmonization of legislation, proactive communication, social networks, podcasts, dialogue with society.
