>Radio B92 from Belgrade - Press Release
>
>
>    Radio B92 and its programme were cut off the air for four times
>today (Nov 27) during its regular reporting on the anti-government
>demonstrations in Belgrade, which last for several days now.
>
>    Demonstrations are being organised by the democratic opposition,
>dissatisfied with the results on local elections being cancelled by the
>regime. The regime is trying to prevent its electoral defeat in major
>cities of Serbia - which is the first factual defeat of the Slobodan
>Milosevic's regime since 1987.
>
>    There is more than 100,000 demonstrators marching down the
>downtown streets of Belgrade every day. The Belgrade University with its
>50,000 students is on strike, demanding the acknowledgement of the
>results achieved by the opposition.
>
>    Radio B92 is a single independent electronic medium in Belgrade
>which is continually reporting on actual events, and it operates for 7
>years now without an official licence. Due to its anti-war engagement and
>a variety of highly successful projects in the domain of culture and
>communications, B92 was presented the CPJ 1993. award.
>
>    The transmitter which Radio B92 uses to broadcast its programme is
>situated among the transmitters owned by the state and is therefore
>inaccessible to our technicians who might otherwise check whether a
>misoperation was at stake or an intended interruption. Our experts claim
>that an intended interruption IS in question. These incidents were
>reported to Aleksandar Tijanic, Serbian Minister of Information who claims
>not to have any kind of connection with these latest developments.
>
>    It is obvious that this is a direct threat and an introduction to
>a final ban of the B92. This Radio has so far been the best, most reliable
>and professional source of information for both the citizens of Belgrade
>and foreign correspondents based in FR Yugoslavia. Should it be banned,
>this would mean a huge blow for democratic processes in Serbia and an
>obvious undermining of all the principles that the Dayton Agreement
>stands for.
>
>    Radio B92 is in danger!
>    Warn the public on these facts and launch a protest with the Serbian
>regime aimed to protecting the single left independent voice in Belgrade.
>
>
>    In this very moment only a minor part of Belgrade can tune to
>Radio B92.
