Belgrade, broadcasting in the Yugoslav Home Service in Serb-Croat oz- 8 March
at 2100 GMT, transmitted the following text:
"Belgrade -- As is known, at the-International Conference in
Copenhagen of September 1948, a new European convention on Rad::o
Broadcasting and a new plan on redistribution of wave lengths
were adopted. As from 15 March, all medium and short wave sta~i.ons
in Europe will change their wave lengths. In connection with
this change, as from 15 March 1950, nearly all radio stations n

Federal Station of Radio Belgrade, the Federal Station Belgradf I
will broadcast as from 15 March on wave lengths 212.4 meters.
This station will broadcast transmissions in our own and foreign
languages. Of other radio stations in Yugoslavia, only the Rafi_o
