Belarus/Radio Station

RFE/RL: POLISH PLANS TO LAUNCH RADIO BROADCASTS TO BELARUS REPORTEDLY MOVING AHEAD.

"Gazeta Wyborcza" reported on 2 September that a business plan
for creating an independent radio station to broadcast to Belarus
from Poland is to be ready by mid-September. According to the
Warsaw-based daily, Poland will ask Brussels to sponsor broadcasting
to Belarus from the sum of some 2 million euros ($2.5 million) that
the European Commission has recently allocated to support democracy
in Belarus. In August, Polish Prime Minister Marek Belka decided to
earmark 950,000 zlotys ($290,000) for the Polish nongovernmental
organizations planning to create an independent Belarusian-language
radio
