Radio Slovakia International leaves shortwaves
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

According to a TASR (Slovak press agency) report of 12 July 2005, Radio Slovakia
International leaves shortwaves on 31 July 2005. The station will continue with
international broadcasting via internet and satelite only. No details on volume of these
broadcasts have been published yet. 84 employees of Slovak Radio will be discharged. The
reason is a worsening financial situation of Slovak Radio. The director general of Slovak
Radio Jaroslav Reznik blames the government for the bad financial situation of the
station. So let us wait if the missing money will be found or not before the end of July.
Nothing is definitive yet.

Radio Slovakia International was established soon after the split of Czechoslovakia at the
beginning of 1993, and now broadcasts in English, French, German, Spanish, Russian and
Slovak.
