LOZNICA - Yugoslav Minister of Telecommunications Ivan Markovic told Tanjug Tuesday in Loznica, western Serbia, that Yugoslav radio and TV stations would sue for damages they have sustained due to the jamming of their broadcasts by foreign electronic media.
The board of mamagers of the Association of Serbian radio stations, comprising about 100 members, has decided to file charges with both international and Yugoslav judiciary authorities, Markovic said.
The aggression on Yugoslavia continues today in the telecommunications sphere through the jamming of Yugoslav electronic media programs, more powerful broadcasts of foreign programs and false reports carried by some local media, with the intention of preventing the truth from reaching the public, Markovic said.
Markovic said that telecommunications ministry inspectors had determined that programs of Yugoslav electronic media were being jammed from Croatia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Romania and Macedonia and from aircraft.
In addition, 18 foreign radio and TV programs are being broadcast on 21 frequencies from Croatia, Bosnia, Romania, Bulgaria and Macedonia and from ships and aircraft in Serbian, English, German, Bulgarian and Albanian, as well as a special TV Network program sponsored by 12 EU member-states, the US and the Soros Fundation, Markovic said.
The jamming is contrary to the regulations of the International Telecommunications Union, a specialized UN agency, Markovic said.
