THE INDEPENDENT NOVI SAD RADIO 021 NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

The founders of the independent Novi Sad radio station Radio 021, the
City Assembly, In-Press Publishing and Audio Constructor have been
working on the establishment of Radio 021 for the last six months. The
station has all the necessary conditions to start broadcasting - the
team of journalists and the necessary broadcasting facilities. The
problem is the working licence from the Yugoslav Ministry for Transport
and Telecommunications. The legal procedure for obtaining the licence
was started under the newly inaugurated regulations by the same
Ministry. These regulations define the period in which the Ministry is
to issue its response. The legal period for the response elapsed on the
22nd of June, 1997 with no reply from the Ministry.
Radio 021 intends to broadcast unbiased information on daily events and
shows covering the areas of culture, documentaries and sports as well as
shows on the problems of refugees, ethnic minorities and marginalized
groups - homosexuals, feminists and peace activists.
The intention is to create an open medium - dynamic, argumentative and
respectful.
Faced with the current problem, Radio 021 is initiating several actions:
the publication of a weekly newsletter as an alternative to broadcasting
and a rock concert followed by a petition signing. The attempt will be
made to exert pressure by sending the petition to the Ministry to issue
the working licence.
The concert will be held on Tuesday, July 29, 1997, at 18:00, in the
city centre in front of the Town Hall. On that occasion all the
expressions of support to Radio 021 will be related to the citizens of
Novi Sad. 
You can send your support to the first independent radio station of Novi
Sad by Radio 021 phone/fax: ++ 381  (0)21 - 21 447 (temporary number) or
to this email address : spiridon@eunet.yu  (this temporary email address
is available till 12:00, Saturday, 26 July, 97)
