PRISTINA, 11 March 2003 - The OSCE Mission in Kosovo is sponsoring a series of live multi-ethnic radio debates on important issues for Kosovo, organized by Radio Vala Rinore (Prishtine/Pristina - 94.7FM), in co-operation with four other radio stations.
The other stations involved are Radio Contact (Prishtine/Pristina - 89.8FM), Radio Contact Plus (Mitrovice/Mitrovica - 101.9FM), Radio Vicianum (Vushtrri/Vucitrn - 105.7FM) and Radio Max (Shillove/Silovo - 102.4FM).
The first in the series of debates called "Together towards the Future" will be held tomorrow, Wednesday 12 March, and will give voice to the human rights concerns of all Kosovar communities, considering whether the law offers solutions and protections for these problems.
The goal of this project is to build bridges between all the communities and between different media outlets, by stimulating constructive discussion on sensitive issues.
The following topics will be covered in the debates on a fortnightly basis: Crime and Violence (26 March), Unemployment and the Economy (9 April) and Reconciliation (23 April).
All the debates will take place at Internews Kosova at 13:00 with invited guests only, and will be aired live on Radio Vala Rinore. They will be rebroadcast the day after on the other stations in Albanian and Serbian languages.
