BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA and YUGOSLAVIA: R  Yugoslavia stopped  broadcasting
from Bijeljina on June 3rd or 4th. Because of  the war going on in the
area the  Bijeljina  SW station couldn't get electricity,  said Radoje
Tatic, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the English  Department.  For several
days R Yugoslavia  was off the air. On June 10th R Yugoslavia returned
to SW,  but now  from  a transmitter in  Serbia using  only  7200 kHz.
Normally the  50 kW transmitter relays the HS R  Beograd 1 in Serbian,
but in the evening it now carries R Yugoslavia's programmes: 1740-1800
GG,  1800-1830 FF,  1830-1900  GG,  1900-1930  SS,  1930-2000  EE  and
