Belarus/Russia/Deutsche Welle

MosNews.com: Russia Angered by Deutsche Welle Broadcasts in Belarus

"A new radio program by Deutsche Welle for listeners in authoritarian-ruled Belarus is creating tension between Berlin and Moscow, Der Spiegel magazine reported. The daily 15-minute broadcast in Russian, which can also be found on the Internet, offers information on the opposition in Belarus that is not reported by state-controlled media in the state of President Alexander Lukashenko. The EU is subsidizing the program on air with an initial amount of $110,000 annually."
