PRISTINA, 28 May 2002 - Radio "K" began broadcasting in Roma and Ashkali to the communities of Fushë Kosovë/Kosovo Polje and the surrounding region yesterday.
The new programmes, which are an addition to broadcasts provided in the Albanian and Serbian languages since the opening of the station in September 2001, serve as an important tool in addressing community concerns on issues of importance to each specific group.
The new broadcasts were launched by Adem Demaci, a well-known advocate for ethnic tolerance, and the new Spokesperson of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, Poul Smidt.
The OSCE Mission in Kosovo has always promoted multi-ethnic broadcasting. It applauds the continual work of stations in bringing important information to all communities in the province.
