I have received several pirates from Serbia. They seem to be on the air mainly
around 1700 kHz. Some of them use quite high
power but 70% of the stations are working with power lower than 100watt (transmitter
based in tube PL 504).
I have also many photos of a few Serbian pirates sent me by e-mail via
Radio Texas in Serbia and also from Radio Elektron
from Kucevo.(Thank you very much!!!)
There are about 30 Medium Wave-pirates in Serbia. They are mostly
QSO-stations with no music programmes.
These stations are mainly located in Belgrad, Pancevo, Pozarevac, Velika
Plana, Smederevo, Jagodina, Kragujevac, Krusevac
and Kucevo. There have been big commercial pirates on FM but during 2006-2007 most of
these stations are now closed.
I AM GOING TO SERBIA TO VISIT LOCAL
PIRATES AND FM-STATIONS IN MAY 2008
Here
is also a list of Serbian pirates received in Finland by me: |

Vogelfreies Radio
from Germany wrote me (December 2006) comments of former Yogoslavian
broadcasting:
"As far as balkan pirates are concerned I know of a film documentary
called "We want our voices to be heard" from the year 1970
about illegal radios in Yougoslavia. It was produced by Zagreb Film,
the author is Krsto Papic.
Obviously there were plenty of pirates in the Tito age, quite similar to
the situation as it is still in Holland. I hadn't seen that film
myself but I have a description out of a documentary movie directory I can
quote from.
The 15 minute film shows several pirates from the rural mountain areas of
Croatia and in the Drau river valley where the radio
stations were operating with very simple equipment but got very popular
among their local audiences.
Authorities were hunting the pirates and there were severe punishments but
as soon as a station was gone a new one
appeared. 5 stations were shown in the documentary, Radio Cerje,
Radio Stanica, Radio Ladanje, Radio Stef and
Radio
Podravini. Programmes not only contained music but also some political
views and even a language lesson for workers who
intended to emigrate to western Europe."

Pirate broadcasting seems to have very long history in former Yogoslavia,
even from the 1970's. There are still many FM-pirates
broadcasting also on FM-band ! It is obvious that pirates on Medium Wave
can broadcast quite freely, without risk to be raided,
if FM is also not controlled to tight.
However, the authorities seems to have closed unlicenced FM-stations in
December 2006:
December 28th, 2006, 14:48 UTC by Andy
Seven radio stations and one television station in Serbia have been shut
down for broadcasting without a licence. The Republic Broadcasting Agency
(RRA) has shut down stations for broadcasting illegally on
the territory of Belgrade.
Some station officials showed resistance to the officials who came to
close
down the stations and broke some equipment of the RRA. The Agency said
that
those who cause problems will have charges pressed against them.
