Zensur in YU: Telekombehörde dreht freie Radios ab


-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-

Was die Belgrader Telekombe/hör/den am Freitag begonnen
hatten, setzte sich in der Nacht auf Sonntag fort. Nach Radio
Senta (multi.-ethnisch, Vojvodina) wurde Radio Index
(Belgrad) abgedreht. Die nächste Aktion wird wohl wieder
gegen das legendäre Radio B-92 gerichtet sein, dessen
Chefredakteur beim Kongress der Global Internet Liberty
Campaign zu Budapest die letzte Keynote gesprochen hat.
Die Internet Transmissions auf der Website von B 92 können
die Telekom/Exekutoren in Belgrad jedenfalls nicht abdrehen.
Die steht auf sicherem Boden in Holland, ge/hosted vom

Belgrade--October 11, 1998 On Friday, October 9, inspectors
of the Yugoslav Telecommunications Ministry closed the
multiethnic and multilingual independent Radio Senta in
Vojvodina and seized a part of its transmission equipment.
The same day, Radio Senta received a request from the
Yugoslav Telecommunications Ministry to pay fee for the use
of frequency. The ministry's note requesting payments said
"the station's broadcasts caused no diffusion problems". The
banning order and verbal instructions from the ministry
headquarters however cited "exclusively technical" reasons
for the station's closure.

On Saturday evening, October 10, inspectors of the same
ministry backed by police closed Belgrade's Radio Index and
seized its transmission equipment. The banning order said
that the station did not hold a broadcasting licence. Radio
Index participated in the frequency allocation tender by the
same ministry and has received information from the ministry
that its documentation was now complete and its licence
pending in the second round of the tender. The station
furthermore holds a valid contract with the state Radio
Television Serbia under which it has the right to use the RTS
premises and transmitter. RTS breached this contract on
Thursday, October 8, when it evicted Radio Index from the
premises it had used for over 27 years and discontinued its
transmission. Radio Index then relocated and started
broadcasting on a frequency it had applied for in the current
frequency tender.

Radio BOOM 93 in Pozarevac and TV 5 in Uzice have
received requests from the Yugoslav Telecommunications
Ministry to pay fees for the use of their frequencies. ANEM
has disputed the legality of this fee, introduced in May for
those stations which are allocated temporary frequency
licences in the current tender. Radio BOOM 93 and TV 5 are
not only requested to pay for the use of frequencies they
have not yet received licences for, but are requested to do so
in "arrears", from June on.

ANEM warns that the state is mounting a severest
clampdown on the independent media in which the state
disrespects even valid legal regulations. ANEM will continue
to fight to protect its affiliates' rights. ANEM has called on its
affiliates to carry on with their professional reporting in
keeping with the law regardless of the pressure they are
exposed to.
