For me this is realy a BREAKING NEWS!
I mean, I did not know that VOA, Deutsche Welle,
RFE and BBC were INDEPENDENT MEDIA.

In fact, those radio stations are re-broadcasted in Croatia too
though anybody who would like to listen that could tune to its
own frequencies directly, as Americans use to do when/if  they
want to listen to the Voice of America which is NOT PERMITED
(by the U.S. autorities) to broadcast from the teritory of the U.S.A.
