RADIO 101, CROATIA: AUTHORITIES ALLOCATE UNSUITABLE LOCATION FOR TRANSMITTER=
 =20

Following international and national pressure from action groups protesting
against the closure of Radio 101, Zagreb Croatia, in January the Croatian
Telecommunications Council finally awarded the radio station a licence.
However, before the radio station can resume broadcasting, Radio 101 must
fulfil some technical requirements including the transfer of its transmitter
to a new site allocated by the Ministry.

The Ministry has allocated a location for the transmitter which according to
Reporters Sans Frontiers, seems to be completely unsuitable in comparison to
the former site and far worse than other local radio stations broadcasting
in Zagreb. The proposed site means that only 50% of the city will be
reached. Radio 101 have since found an appropriate site but this was refused
by Domink Filipovic, the deputy of the Ministry a few weeks ago.

AMARC's Solidarity Network requests that faxes of support should be sent to
the Croatian Authorities demanding:

=B7 that urgent measures be taken so that Radio 101 can transfer their
transmitter to a suitable site in order that it will reach the entire
population of Zagreb;
