PRISTINA, Jan 12 (Hina) - A Albanian radio station based in Kosovo
capital Pristina on Tuesday began broadcasting via satellite on BBC
World Service's frequencies.
Every evening at 08.45pm, Radio Koha's 15-minute news will be
broadcast by BBC's satellite due to the station's inability to
obtain a frequency for local airing in the south Yugoslav conflict-
ridden province.
The launching of Radio Koha has special significance given that in
1990, Serbian authorities in Kosovo unilaterally banned electronic
media for Albanians.
There have been many attempts to launch private radio and
television stations, but Yugoslav authorities have not been
willing to grant frequencies.
Kosovo Albanians can now follow the news in their mother language
via Albanian radio-television and foreign radio stations
broadcasting in Albanian, such as Voice of America, BBC, and Radio
Deutsche Welle.
