ROMANIA  Press release MediaSind, Do not destroy Radio Romania International
The Romanian Syndicate of Journalists MediaSind, through the Radio Romania
Branch, expresses its concern at the intention of the SRR president-general
director, Georgica Severin, to suspend the shortwave broadcast of the Radio
Romania International station. Due to the superficiality with which the
responsible factors of the institution treated the problem of the allocated
budget, the Romanian Broadcasting Society lost, at the last rectification,
10 million lei, an amount without which the good functioning of the company
cannot be ensured. In order to cover this consistent deficit, according to
some public statements of the President - General Manager, the expenses with
the shortwave transmitters owned by Radiocom, which broadcasts Radio Romania
International programs in 13 languages, would be cut. The solution to closing
the shortwave emission, even if it is the most handy, having immediate effect
is a totally wrong one. In a communique by the AGERPRES news agency many days
ago announced the close of RADIOCOM and both its transmitter sites Tiganesti
and Galbeni (but old Saftica, does it remain?) and the continuation of Radio
Romania International broadcasts only on the Internet. But no specific date.
