MALTA Der fruehere Managing Director der Voice of the Mediterranean,<br />

Richard Muscat, muss sich mit Vorwuerfen zu seiner Amtsfuehrung bei dem<br />

2003 eingestellten Sender auseinandersetzen. Ein Bericht des National<br />

Audit Office (NAO), der Anfang Juli 2006 dem Parlament vorgelegt wurde,<br />

wirft Unregelmaessigkeiten in der Mittelverwendung und Verschwendung vor.<br />

Unter anderem habe er seinem Sohn Auftraege zugeschanzt. Muscat, der jetzt<br />

Botschafter in Irland, sieht sich als "Suendenbock" fuer die finanziellen<br />

Probleme der Station und betont seine Entscheidungsfreiheit und<br />

Unabhaengigkeit.<br />

Die Buchpruefer halten dagegen, dass die Stimme des Mittelmeers in den<br />

letzten drei Jahren ganz aus dem Budget des maltesischen<br />

Aussenministeriums finanziert worden sei und deshalb auch staatlichen<br />

Regularien haette folgen muessen. Nach Einschaetzung des NAO hat sich<br />

allerdings auch der VOM Board of Councillors als Aufsichtsgremium zu wenig<br />

um die Belange der Station gekuemmert.<br />

Radio Pridnestrovie (Transdniester) celebrates its 15th anniversary today.<br />

The station was officially inaugurated on August 3, 1991, in accordance<br />

with the Presidential Decree. At that time it informed its listeners about<br />

the military aggression of the Moldova's nationalists and their genocide<br />

against the Transdniester people.<br />

Initially, the station could be heard only locally, via the wire radio<br />

network. Soon, Radio Pridnestrovie started producing a 40-minute news<br />

magazine for distribution on the regional radio stations in Russia.<br />

On March 17, 1992 Radio Pridnestrovie began broadcasting on a one-kilowatt<br />

AM tx located at Dubossary. The major breakthrough occurred on May 7, 1992<br />

when Radio Pridnestrovie got an access to Mayak radio transmitting center.<br />

Several times the Moldovan nationalists tried to destroy the center.
