RADIO-TV MANAGING DIRECTOR OPENS TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IN E. CROATIA

( Editorial: --> 2462 ) BORINCI, Jan 5 (Hina) - Croatian Radio-Television (HRT) managing director Ivica Mudrinic on Monday set to work a transmission system in Borinci, eastern Croatia. The system, worth US$1.8 million, includes three transmitters which will carry radio and television broadcasts of the HRT. Mudrinic said with these transmitters, "the reintegration of the Croatian media sector has come full circle". The transmitters in Borinci also make it possible for Croats in neighbouring countries to tune in to Croatian radio and television broadcasts, the HRT managing director said. After setting the transmitters to work, with UNTAES officials and spokesman Philip Arnold in attendance, Mudrinic went to a meeting in Vukovar with local Serb representatives. He said they would discuss the full takeover of a transmitter in Belje, which will broadcast three television and three radio programmes of the HRT as of Monday. "We agreed with Serb representatives that in due time they will broadcast a half-hour television programme on the second channel of Croatian Television", Mudrinic said. (hina) ha jn 051632 MET jan 98
