SARAJEVO, Oct 11 (Hina) - The completion of the re-organisation of the radio and television systems in Bosnia-Herzegovina will put an end to the broadcasting of Croatian Radio Television (HRT) programmes via earth transmitters in
Bosnia, a spokesman for the Office of the High Representative (OHR) to Bosnia, said on Thursday. Commenting on frequent objections by the Croat-Muslim federal authorities to changes in the country's radio and television system, conducted by the OHR, the spokesman, Patrik Volf, explicitly confirmed that Bosnia's residents would no longer have HRT signals, which covered a significant part of the country in recent years. Talks with Croatia's authorities are nearing completion. The broadcasting of the HRT programme via earth transmitters will be terminated, as it cannot be legalised due to broadcasting rights, in line with international standards in this field
