Subject: Future of Radio Prague International Mr. Anker Petersen Chairman of the Danish Shortwave Club International Dear Sir or Madam, Udbyvej 11 2740 Skovlunde I write to you today, because I have heard, e-mail: [email protected] you are considering closing Radio Prague International by the end of this year – a decision, if taken, I want to protest against on behalf of the Danish Shortwave Club International of which I Dear Mr. Petersen, am Chairman. thank you very much for your letter of October 16, 2009. I Personally I first heard Radio Prague on the th would like to appreciate your interest in broadcast of the Czech 17 of November 1957 on shortwave, and I have listened to Radio Prague. We are proud to have such a radio and there is that station since – for nearly 52 years with great pleasure! It no intention to stop its broadcast. The Radio helps promote the has brought me a thorough insight in what is happening first in good name of the Czech Republic in the world and plays a key Czechoslovakia, and later in the Czech Republic on the role also for Czechs living abroad. Great support and political, historical as well as cultural side which has been very encouragement for Czech countrymen is also the Internet site rewarding! I attach a copy of a reception report to Radio www.krajane.net managed by the Radio. Prague International as it was heard two days ago here in Denmark on shortwave with perfect reception. Due to current financial crisis the Government of the Czech Republic decided in June 2009 to reduce the state budget by I have visited the beautiful Czech Republic 20%. Following the Government Resolution No. 715 the more times as a result of my radio listening. In April 2005, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is obliged to reduce the budget of European DX Council (cf. www.edxc.org) organized its annual the Radio for 2010 also by 20%. Conference in Prague where we visited at the top end of impressive Václavské náměstí the former Parliament Building According to the data received from the Radio the reduction which then was handed over to Radio Free Europe / Radio will mean saving on all budgetary items and increasing of the Liberty. We also visited the Radio Prague building at Internet budget. The short-wave broadcast will be retained in Vinohradská 12 where we had a guided tour around the reduced form. Foreign transmitters will probably replace some various studios and ended with a very informative dialogue of the transmitters in Northern Bohemia. The broadcast in with the Director of Radio Prague International, Ph. Dr. different languages should remain unchanged. Miroslav Krupicka. Thank you very much again for your interest in the broadcast In conclusion, I am very impressed by the from the Czech Republic. If you have more questions please developments of the Czech Republic during the recent years. do not hesitate to contact directly the Czech Radio or our But with President Vaclac Klaus blocking of the Lissabon Ministry. Treaty which all member countries of the European Union, including the Czech Parliament, have agreed upon, and your Yours faithfully considerations of ceasing this important information media of Radio Prague International on shortwave, I feel that your nation is heading backwards towards becoming an isolated Dr. Robert Řehák nation in Central Europe. The Czech Republic and its friendly Ministry of Foreign Affairs and hospitable people do not deserve that! Rytířská 31 110 00, Praha 1 Sincerely yours, Czech Republic
