According to a statement from the Radio's editorial office
which was issued on Friday, an American institute for researching
public opinion "Gallup" had established that about 560,000 Bosnian
citizens listened to FERN.
The researchers established that 28% of the 1,390 people of
all nationalities that had been questioned listened to FERN every
day, and 34% every other day.
FERN has won most listeners in Zenica (50%), Mostar (47%),
Sarajevo (36%) and Tuzla (28%).
"Gallup" also conducted the research on the territory of
Republika Srpska, but most of those questioned refused to answer
questions.
By the method of random selection, it was established that 20%
of Pale residents listened to FERN, as well as 24% of the residents
of Banja Luka.
The broadcasting of the Free elections radio in Bosnia is
financed by the Swiss government.
The FERN covers 90% of the Bosnian Federation territory and
66% of the Republika Srpska territory.
