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. > > > >Veran Matic >Editor in-Chief > > > >-- >Veran Matic, Editor in Chief tel: +381-11-322-9922 >Radio B92, Belgrade, Yugoslavia fax: +381-11-324-8075 > > Radio B92 Official Web Site --- http://www.opennet.org/ PS.
