RTS participates in the Polish Radio TRÓJKA Project by sending the greetings below It's a great pleasure for me to celebrate World Radio Day in this way. Radio Belgrade 1 is part of the public broadcaster, and we work to offer quality news, culture and entertainment programmes each day. The situation in radio here in Serbia is probably similar to the one in Poland. Purely commercial radio stations playing music are mostly listened to, and work of public broadcasters is hampered by fairly low numbers of citizens paying the 18. Serbia monthly fee. But the radio programme is still listened to, and radio is still keeping race with newer media. We expect to adopt digital broadcasting in RTS next 5 years and we use web more and more. We are happy to work on common projects, and if some of your colleagues speak Serbian, we will be glad to hear from them about happenings in Poland. Our two countries are getting closer in recent times, as young people travel more and students from Serbia attend programmes in Poland. As Polish is already the second language in Britain, perhaps we will also start to learn Polish and, by next year, this message might be fully in Polish and well understood, which now probably is not the case. And now here is one of the newer Serbian songs. The band is SARS, with social themes, and we picked this song as it is a little slower so that our Slavic brethren might even understand a little.
On the occasion of the World Radio Day (13 February 2013) proclaimed by UNESCO and endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly, Radio and Television Slovakia will contribute to this prestigious event by the concert to be held on this day in the Large Concert Studio of Slovak Radio, Mytna Street 1, Bratislava. 19. Slovakia The programme is as follows: Ladislav HOLOUBEK: Symphonic Idyll (app. 10 min.) RTVS Sergei RACHMANINOFF: Piano Concerto No 4 in G minor op. 40 (app. 27min) Jean SIBELIUS: Symphony No. 5 in E flat op. 82 (app. 30 min.) This concert featuring excellent Russian pianist Denis Kozhukhin will be broadcast live on Radio Devin channel and subsequently offered on a deferred basis also to the EBU members. In addition to this concert our programme services are preparing other interesting contributions in their programming devoted to this event. 20. Spain The celebration will be announced on the main programmes of all our channels, especially on our channel Radio Exterior de España, which will have special programming on that day. We plan the live transmission of many RNE programmes from our venue in Madrid, and it will be done from a characteristic building in Madrid, like Casa de America. We will do a direct link at 11.00 CET with UNESCO in Paris to talk about the event. RTS Radio News will post one or two messages on the platform announcing 21. Switzerland what we are providing as information, primarily on RTS La Première. RTS On the air, we will mention the Day on 13 February, but without any particular further developments.
