It operates on the basis of the Law on RTV Slovenia (Official Gazette RS, No. 18/1994) and several amendments adopted by the legislator and the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia in order to protect or additionally define public service. RTV Slovenia is a public-legal institution. It also operates in compliance with the Law on Media of the Republic of Slovenia (Official Gazette RS, No. 35/2001). In-house production, co-production and ordered production must encompass at least 50% of the time of the programmes of RTV Slovenia or in other words at least two hours a day in case of a minority radio programme, or at least 30 minutes in case of a minority television programme (Article 6 of lex specialis). In compliance with directives of the European Convention on Transfrontier Television of the Council of Europe, RTV Slovenia assures the prescribed quota of productions of independent producers and audio-visual productions. The entire legislation complies with both basic European documents.

Five representatives are elected by the Parliament in compliance with the proportional representation of political parties (councillors cannot be members of the Parliament or state officials), one member is autonomly delegated by the Italian and Hungarian communities respectively and one member also autonomly and without arbitrage by 15 civil-social organisations or institutions (their representatives also cannot be members of the Parliament, members of the state council, state officials or members of the management of political parties or members employed with RTV Slovenia). Three members of the body are elected by the employees of RTV Slovenia from the field of informative, culture-arts and technical activities.

The Supervisory Board of RTV Slovenia, with a four-year mandate from July 2002 President: Nikola DAMJANIĆ (appointed by the Parliament of the Republic of Slovenia) Deputy of the President: Alfred ŠARLAH (appointed by the Parliament of the Republic of Slovenia) Members: Alja BRGLEZ, Ph.D. (appointed by the Parliament of the Republic of Slovenia on the Government’s proposal) Venčeslav RADI (appointed by the Parliament of the Republic of Slovenia on the Government’s proposal) Director General appoints Managers who assure the proper operation of the business system independently. The mandate of all is four years. With its decision No. 106/01-27 of February 5, 2004 the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia judged the suggestion of RTV Slovenia concerning the constitutionality of the amendment of the Law on the exclusion of means received by the Public Service Broadcaster from RTV licence fee for other needs (financing of non-commercial local programmes). This decision is the most important decision of the Constitutional Court in support to the mission of the Public Service Broadcaster for its political and commercial independence and can be compared to the similar decision of the German Constitutional Court of Karlsruhe in the 1980s. In 2003 RTV Slovenia celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Radio and the 45th anniversary of the Television apart from many other important working jubilees.

We achieved the planned effects in lowering the costs of purchase, the number of employees, costs of regular financing, scope of debt and in major claim of commercial revenue and claims of unpaid subscriptions or RTV licence fee. However, the importance of the achieved work faded away due to the increase of expenses for legal executors and we also see an extreme increase of amortization and write-off of intangible fixed assets. The most evident decline from the adopted plan is in additionally charged legal late interests in the amount of 963 million tolars for the unpaid turnover tax in the years 1996-1998. Despite all arrangements with the representatives of the Slovene Government on possible postponement of payment of this obligation or on the legal solution to this question, the question remained unsettled in 2003. In 2004 the Public Service Broadcaster will - in order to pay the debt of the entire turnover tax - indebt itself and start the procedure of sale of shares in the Eutelsat company. We will thus cover the loss from the previous years and in this part »clean« business statements. Additionally, the greatest negative impact on the business result was caused by lower realisation of revenues from advertising compared to the original plans. The Public Service Broadcaster operated under the conditions that are determined in the broadest sense by the legislation for public institutions (Law on RTV Slovenia, Law on media, Law on services, Law on public finances, and Law on the wage system in public sector). The fundamental problem of management and its flexibility is shown in the management of assets. Mitigation of former RTV subscriptions depends on the work of courts and expensive court executors, the mitigation of the current RTV licence fees depends on the procedures at the tax administration and in business banks. Movables and financial property are subject of governmental orders demanding extremely long terms for implementation. In case of lower realized revenues it is therefore not possible to act quickly and flexibly enough, though this would mean an essential intervention into the adopted scope of programmes and adopted programme plan. Legal changes are therefore urgently needed in this field and they mean an inevitable condition for the implementation of the long-term development strategy until 2010 and the recovery programme with the renovation of business processes, which was started in 2003. We are before a demanding period of restructuring of the Service Broadcaster where we will abandon and diminish the scope of those activities which are not the basic activities of the Public Service Broadcaster stipulated by the law on RTV. The strategy of stabilisation by means of recovery will not be successful without obligatory and radical structural changes in the implementation of the basic activity and without transformation of the Public Service Broadcaster into a public company in state ownership. This will allow more flexible and marketing actions in management, higher independence and responsibility of individual legal subjects for business results and organisation of companies exposed to the laws of the market and incomparable firmer economic and thus political independence. We count on the active and adequate support of all the employees as well as our founder. Aleks Štakul Director General of RTV Slovenia 12 ADD R E S S O F T H E C H A I RMAN OF THE COUNCIL OF RTV SLOVENI A It must be very satisfying to write introductory thoughts when good or even excellent business results are achieved. Unfortunately, as the Chairman of the Council of RTV Slovenia, I have not had this privilege for the past two years. The annual report of The Public Service Broadcaster RTV Slovenia for 2003, especially its financial part, reflects the actual business situation. This mirror shows everybody as he or she really is. The Council of the Service Broadcaster is legally the highest management body and in its Programme-Business Plan planned financially equilibrated business operations, a slight surplus of revenue over expenditures or a positive zero as we like addressing the matter in jargon. There were many reasons that contributed to a much worse result; expenditures have exceeded the revenue by more than 2.6 billion tolars and reached 9 billion tolars together with the deficit from previous years. A majority of problems of financial nature has accumulated in the Service Broadcaster through a longer period of time, we could even say a decade. There would be even a higher deficit, if the Public Service Broadcaster did not start radical recovery processes. The negative business result contributed to the financial burden of the Broadcaster, which is a severe threat to its financial situation. Although there were some standpoints that we could hear in public, financial situation and business results are not a legal competence and responsibility of the Council. Moreover, it is unreasonable to have polemics about the closing statement, about boring and exact numbers. The Council as a management body only has two possibilities: either to adopt the final statement and the business result linked to it or to reject it with arguments and reaches for radical medicaments, for instance for the change of the management that is responsible for the business results according to the law and the Articles of Association. The Council of RTV Slovenia adopted the final statement and the Business Report for 2003 with a majority of votes. This was done on the basis of an in-depth discussion and wilfully on the recommendation of the Supervisory Board and in accordance with the conclusions that a major part of excessions of expenditures over revenue is a consequence of facts and events, for which the responsibility cannot be attributed to the Broadcaster or its management bodies. Essential deviations from the Programme-Business Plan are as follows: - new late interests owing to the non-payment of the turnover tax between the years 1996 and 1998 in the amount of 963 million tolars; - prescribed depreciation costs in the amount of 240 million tolars. The business result of 2003 was additionally influenced by the introduction of an obligation to the account (inbetween a non-constitutional obligation) for the financing of local public television and radio programmes in the amount of 500 million tolars. If the deficit of marketing revenue is counted to that (in the amount of 848 million tolars), which is especially a consequence of general market movements and the incapacity of planned sale of the assets (in the amount of 670 million tolars), we can come to a conclusion that very rare causes for the unfavourable financial situation may be attributed to the lack of responsibility or the incompetence of the business management. When adopting the Business Report and the final statement, the Council of RTV Slovenia established that the Public Service Broadcaster mostly performs its tasks well and that for the time being financial stability and solvency are not jeopardized. Yet the Council will not find it acceptable if the indicated negative guidelines continued. The Council has therefore concluded to adopt a new, an even more radical recovery programme in the first half of 2004 that will give an opportunity to perform the programmes of quality on the basis of equilibrated business and financial flows. The Council has also invited the founder - the Government and the Parliament - to assist, as far as their competencies it allow, in a permanent solution to the financial problems of RTV Slovenia. Janez Kocijančič, M.Sc. Chairman of the Council of RTV Slovenia 13 ADDRESS O F T H E C H A I R M A N OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD OF RTV SLOV E N I A In 2003 The Supervisory Board of RTV Slovenia acted within the scope of its competence stipulated in the Law on RTV Slovenia, the Statutes of the Service Broadcaster and regulations of the Supervisory Board of RTV Slovenia and performed supervision of the business operations of RTV Slovenia, reviewed the financial plan, periodical statements of account and supervised the books and legal conformity of operations. During the year, the Supervisory Board had nine ordinary meetings and one extraordinary meeting. The decisions and findings have been passed on to the Parliament, the competent ministry and the Council of RTV Slovenia. At the beginning of the year, The Supervisory Board of RTV Slovenia supported the proposal of the Programme-Business Plan of RTV Slovenia for 2003 and changed its implementation as one goes along and warned the Management and the Council of the Service Broadcaster as well as the founder of deviations and lacks in its implementation. The Supervisory Board further acquainted itself with the draft Programme-Production and Business Plan of RTV Slovenia for 2004. In this context it has pointed out the necessity of realistic and harmonized planning, which caused a delay in adopting the Programme-Business Plan. Its persistence in the realistic and harmonized planning was grounded with the fact that in 2003 we noted some considerable deviations in the field of own revenue and in labour costs. This is the reason why the Supervisory Board has supported the efforts of the Management of the Service Broadcaster to continue and upgrade the preparation and implementation of reorganisation measures. Within its competence the Supervisory Board also dealt with the question of rewarding the management staff of the Service Broadcaster. The wages of Director General were quite some time in the centre of public attention, yet the Supervisory Board established that they are in compliance with the individual contract. It moreover established that in the time when the individual contract was signed, there were no concrete legal grounds for the formation of the wages of Director General. It may be expected that order will be brought in the field of wages of directors of public services by the Law on the system of wages in public sector that will come into force presumably on July 1, 2004. After getting an insight into the annual report of the Service Broadcaster for 2003, the Supervisory Board established that the Service Broadcaster ended the business year 2003 by having 2.62 billion tolars more expenditures than revenues so that the joint surplus of expenditures over revenue (from 2003 and previous years) amounts to 9.67 billion tolars. The main reasons for the existing business statement derive from tax debt and administratively determined depreciation costs. The Supervisory Board suggested adequate solutions relating to tax debt, which are not being implemented. Attention should be drawn to the fact that as far as solvency is concerned, the Broadcaster had positive business operations in 2003, because the principle of the money flow showed a surplus of revenue over expenditures in the amount of 247 million tolars, although the expenditures for investments amounted to 2.2 billion tolars (of that a prevailing part was for investments into equipment), which resulted in the redemption of the Service Broadcaster in the amount of 335 million tolars. The Supervisory Board evaluates that the business year 2003 was the last one in which the Broadcaster had a negative business result. It is expected that the year 2004 will finally see a solution to the problems of tax debt and that key strategic documents, the implementation of which will assure better quality of operations and development of the Public Service Broadcaster RTV Slovenia, will be adopted. We must, however, not forget that ambitiously set goals will only be reached if we all do our best and if we are not ignorant of the direction into which the Broadcaster should develop. We are more powerful together, so use the opportunity that we have!

Among others informative projects upon the outburst of the war in Iraq, upon the referendum of Slovenia joining the EU and upon the referendum of Slovenia joining NATO, first successful tenders for independent producers in Children’s and Youth, Musical and Theatrical Programmes, restructuring in favour of a larger share of culture-arts and culture-informative contents in prime time, European co-productions where within EBU our children’s broadcasts regularly get the highest notes and are taken by the most European televisions, first Zlata rola award for featured projects that were done in our own production or in coproduction and won both the spectators in front of television seats (children’s film and the serial Pozabljeni zaklad) and in the cinemas (Pozabljeni zaklad, Kajmak in marmelada). Our television broadcasts in 2003 participated in 42 television festivals mostly European ones. Among the very noticed and awarded broadcasts we have to mention the educational broadcast Nevidna civilizacija of the cycle Volja najde pot at the festival Japan Prize, the film Gangl of the Radmilović brothers and the documentary Prijatelj čebelar directed by Hanka Kastelicova. In the very demanding environment with stiff commercial competition of both Slovene and foreign televisions (in the past years a number of foreign topical channels decided for the translation of broadcasts in the Slovene language) that our spectators can watch from cosy sophas much more easily than anywhere in Europe, we managed to keep the share of spectators from the year before, whereby the share of the spectators of the 1st programme increased by one percent point, the share of the 2nd programme decreased by one percent point. The media mostly treated us very critically so that our public image and after-marketing of the most spectated projects exceeding even 50% rating shares cannot be to our satisfaction. Criticism was very often for the broadcasts with less than 2% rating and for this reason it is necessary to clearly state that 2% represent almost 40,000 spectators! Nowadays, the segmentation of public is obvious and if anyone wanted to remove such broadcasts from the national programmes, this would mean abolishment of a type of national mission for smaller target groups of population and an entire revolution to unacceptable commercialisation. The programme and production plan was completed in compliance with the adopted programme draft and legal obligations; a reason for slight deviations is mostly to be sought in unexpected events that had influence on the abolishment of some programme contents in favour of others. These events for instance include a higher number of live transmissions from the Parliament, war in Iraq, a smaller number of some sports events, the exact planning of which is not possible due to the systems of abolishment, failing to complete some more demanding broadcasts of the documentary genre owing to additionally limited possibilities of post production. Mojca Menart Director of TV Programmes of RTV Slovenia Programme Unit Te levision Slovenia The jubilee year, 45 years of the Slovene National Television that was marked by a series of retrospective films, was the year of severe financial, personal resource and production conditions for the creation of national and regional television programmes. Compared to 2002 there were nominally lower means and by having a smaller number of programme and production workers we created and broadcasted more hours of premiere in-house production and broadcasted more hours of programme than a year before. Less foreign programmes were bought, for we have wilfully decided to invest the money into in-house production - into more Informative, Children, Youth and Theatrical Programme. The 1st and the 2nd national programmes also broadcasted more regional contents: on the 1st programme a joint Morning Programme of the studios from Maribor, Koper and Ljubljana (which is marked as the television programme of the Regional RTV Centre Maribor, because it is created by the editors of this centre) was broadcasted and on the 2nd programme a regional hour between 18.00 and 19.00 hours. 18 New s a n d E d u c a t i o n Programmes successful Polnočni klub, a non-political programme In 2003 News and Education Programmes that keeps the spectators in front of television seats prepared over 200 hours more programme than a each Friday also after midnight, Studio City (with an year before (in 2002 2,715 hours were prepared, average of 5% rating and with an average 15% share, in 2003 2,980 hours). A reason for that is to be which means that the rating has increased compared to sought especially in two large, very successful projects the year before), Dosje (based on research journalism carried out in compliance with the highest professional and reached exceptional repercussions with the contents standards - covering of the war in Iraq and referendums like the investigation of the case of the SIB bank and upon Slovenia entering the EU and NATO. TV Slovenia the attack on the journalist Miro Petek), Mednarodna was one of the four European stations that so to say obzorja, Gospodarski izzivi and Svetovni izzivi directly entered the very beginning of the war in Iraq (average rating 7%). Weekly reviews, the domestic and the events were attended to also in the following political Utrip and the foreign political Zrcalo tedna days by numerous extra reports, live reports from the in which the journalists also comment and analyze the crisis area and analytical broadcasts. Although Slovene events, attracted even more spectators in 2003 by being politics almost without any second thoughts supported included in the central one-hour informative block and the entrance of Slovenia into international integrations, were watched by 40% of the spectators of television at TV Slovenia enabled the presentation of views also to that time. those segments of civil society that object the Slovene membership in the Northern Atlantic Association. It must The News Programme certainly reached the set goal have been for the first time that a studio of TV Slovenia in respecting professional standards of objective and hosted a confrontation between the Government, the impartial reporting to public on all important social opposition, the Roman-Catholic church, civil society on questions and topics. There is still an unsolved question one side and anti-globalisation and peace movements as how to reach a balance between the quality of contents well as independent intellectuals on the other. This fact is and rating, because these two elements often exclude worth being stressed because it negates the statements each other.

Thus we have to keep to the existing orientation: to quality although to the The creators of the News Programme paid most disadvantage of somewhat lower rating and moderate attention and energy to the preparation of daily news. conservativism in presenting contents, although to The year was marked by turbulent domestic political the disadvantage of reproaches that competitive events (the deleted, the referendum on the opening programmes are more attractive. Explicit criticism of times of shops, the referendums about entering the EU spectators and professional public towards the contents and NATO, »chase« after the attackers of the journalist of our programme (and indulgence to the products of Miro Petek) and economic affairs and turnabouts (SIB competitive televisions) which is to some extent logical bank, the war of breweries). The international scene was and useful with respect to the mission of a public focused on the war in Iraq and the most outstanding television quite often contributes to the creation of a events were linked to Croatia (announcement of an negative image of programmes and contributions and is exclusive economic zone). Much attention was paid often unfair towards creative and self-sacrificing journalists to local topics and in co-operation with the colleagues and other creators of the News Programme. of the Editorial of Broadcasts on Culture we even paid more attention to cultural topics. We preserved all the Education has long ago crossed the boarder of formal broadcasts (three morning news, bulletins at 13.00 and education. The Education Programme thus has an 16.30 hours, Odmevi) until April also the broadcasts important role in the promulgation of knowledge and Danes, Vaš kraj and TV Dnevnik. The latter three were knowing among spectators and also advice giving about replaced by Dnevnik, Denar and Magnet through burning every-day topics. More attention was paid to the the re-organisation of the one-hour news block between topics from the field of emotional intelligence, which will 19.00 and 20.00 hours. be the topics that a spectator of the 21st century will reach more often. As far as the broadcasts popularizing Among new broadcasts the 90-minute long Tarča was more demanding contents from the field of science and very well accepted. This is a combination of research cultural heritage are concerned, we will have much work journalism and meeting of various opinions. A much to do in order to present these demanding topics in a higher rating than a year before was achieved by more popular way. A key question for the future is: »What Aktualno, oriented towards the presentation of various do we communicate and how do we communicate?« opinions on the most topical issues, and Tednik, the The most we can do as creators is a permanent dialogue broadcast with a more than 20-year tradition which does with spectators. not only point at problems of »little people« but often solves them. We shall not forget about Omizje which Tanja Starič is watched by one fourth of spectators in that time in Managing Editor of News and Current Affairs the middle of a week up to 1.00 in the morning, the Programmes of TV Slovenia 19 Culture a n d A r t s P r o g r a mmes Culture and Arts Programmes implemented all vital projects which are of essence for the mission of a public television in compliance with expectations. In several segments we managed to considerably increase rating. The colleagues from the Department of Drama Programme broadcasted more than 25 hours of inhouse production and simultaneously recorded all the planned own production. Let us mention just a few highlights: the television film of Metod Pevec Pod njenim oknom received a majority of awards at the film festival in Celje and was simultaneously very well accepted by both critics and spectators. We successfully completed recording of the television feature film Jasnovidka and of the television drama Obisk, where both projects are now in the final phase of post production. The co-production of Kozole’s Rezervni deli was very successful at the film festival in Berlin. The AV-tender offered independent producers a possibility of co-creating television programme, selected and presented was the serial Čokoladne sanje. We completed the serial Novi svet that was watched by about 9% of spectators. The fourth season of Vrtičkarji was seen by an average of 13% of spectators and we recorded the last ten parts of the fifth, last season. The colleagues from the Department of Broadcasts on Culture prepared a total of 94 hours of programme. The biggest progress was achieved in reporting on culture. The programme Kultura had an average of 111,200 spectators on week days, achieved a good professional level each evening and became an important place of reporting on cultural events and at the same time the place for the establishment of younger, penetrating journalists. A more intense co-operation with the News Programme brought along several culture topics in Dnevnik and Odmevi and a new rubric Magnet, in weekly and monthly broadcasts we dedicated more attention to rarely presented topics in the past (architecture, dance, archaeology). The Children’s and Youth Programme Department carried out a series of projects; the new puppet educationentertainment serial Zajček Bine, dedicated to the youngest children, will certainly become one of the parade horses of TV Slovenia. Among the successful projects let us mention the series of television lyric allusions to the poems of Oton Župančič, the acted documentary Pepi vse ve (acquaintance with artistic languages) and a new season of the serial Bisergora for the smallest children (even richer thanks to the added animations of Eka Vogelnik). We presented ourselves with dignity in Europe with the documentary Emanuel iz Evrope and with the play Čudežni urok. Both films were among the most successful in the last-year European production of 15 states. The spectators welcomed the series Knjiga mene briga, Zlatko Zakladko and the featured-documentary educational serial Potepanja (independent production). We are also satisfied by putting to life the animated programme (the children welcomed the serial Hrček Miha pripoveduje) and with the acted links in Živ-Žav. All expectations were exceeded by the featured serial Nina, and we also finished Sprehod z baronom narrating about the creativity of the Slovenes from Trieste from Trubar until the middle of the 20th century. The Department of Foreign Featured Programmes entirely carried out its programme plan, its clearer and more consistent programme policy and special attention paid to the European film production made an important contribution to more quality programme planning. Sedmi pečat showed the films of world production of highest quality that were very highly rated or got awards at prestigious film festivals. Apart from the products of the European cinematography and uncommercial American films we also broadcasted domestic films from a co-production between the Film Fund of the Republic of Slovenia and RTV Slovenia. In the Department of Culture and Documentary Programmes we recorded the planned number of broadcasts and presented 30 hours of programme in our own production. Documentaristics as one of the most prominent television genres is an important contribution to the maintenance of our historical and cultural consciousness and self-confidence. It is also paid great and permanent attention of the spectators. Certain documentary portraits and films were seen by an extraordinary number of spectators (the portrait of Polde Bibič, Človek, ki ga moraš imeti rad, was seen by 162,000 spectators and the documentary narration on Karničarji with the title Hribovska saga by 175,000 spectators). The documentary feature of Jasna Hribernik Tango-5 was awarded for the best television film at the Film Festival of Celje. In the Department of Serious Music and Ballet we completed the set programme and at the same time presented more than 97 hours of the programme of our own production. The project of the year were Svetovni glasbeni dnevi (The World Music Days) to which we paid our utmost programme and implementation care and achieved that the performance was well accepted. We completed and broadcasted the portraits of Marjana Lipovšek, Andres Valdes and Rudolf Francl. We recorded the serial Po sledeh baleta, we took a part of the serial Zgodovina slovenske opere, strengthened co-operation with musical ensembles of RTV Slovenia and continued presentations of young Slovene musicians, of Slovene jazz and choir music. The Colleagues from the Religious Programme Department implemented the planned programme and broadcasted 68 hours of in-house production. The broadcast Duhovni utrip changed the airing time and expanded its field of topic and achieved a higher rating. Compared to a year before, the rating of the broadcast Obzorja duha also increased.

The majority of EMA, Evrosong, Slovenska popevka and 50 let projects attained the set rating, with those, especially Avsenikove glasbe. new ones, where we did not reach it, we performed radical cuts or abolished the broadcasts. This is the The basic programme direction of the Entertainment reason why we are self-critical in exposing some Programme of TV Slovenia will remain commitment unsuccessful projects from 2003: special broadcast to quality in-house production, because domestic on the World Championship in Alpine Skiing in St. broadcasts give the spectators not only an opportunity Moritz which was prepared from Ljubljana in order of linguistic identification but also a comparison and to cut down costs and the Sunday broadcast on insight into the national culture of entertainment. football Gool.

As far as contents are Miša Molk Managing Editor of Entertainment and Sports Programmes of TV Slovenia 21 Regional T e l e v i s i o n P r o g ramme Maribor In the national programme we increased the number of broadcasts and production: 551 broadcasts of inhouse premiere production in the total duration of 492 hours. We were also very active as a collective correspondent with 55 hours of programmes and contributions in daily news and broadcasts of other programmes of TV Slovenia. In national programmes we broadcasted 78 more broadcasts from the production of ORF and MTV, of editorials of Slovene national communities in Austria and Hungary and that in the total length of 37 hours. The year 2003 was the first year when we emitted the regional television programme on the frequency for the territory of north-eastern Slovenia the whole year through, so that it was possible to monitor the effects of this programme within a broader regional environment and to reach adequate recognizability. The data on rating in the region surpassed those of all other local and regional television programmes. The regional programme mostly concentrated on the basic informative function, daily informative, topical news and broadcasts on culture and sports in the regions of north-eastern Slovenia.

The role of correspondents for informative and cultural broadcasts of the national programme was performed within the arranged scope and was adapted to the topical issues and requirements. Unfortunately, our capacities of production and human resources do not suffice, which causes very high expense for part-time workers in production and for the hiring of free-lance shooting teams. co-operation, exchange of daily newscasts and the topical magazine broadcasts Lynx magazin, prepared in four departments – the Slovene and Italian in the Regional RTV Centre Koper/Capodistria and the Slovene and Italian regional seat of RAI in Trieste.

The share of the Morning Programme prepared in the studio of Koper met the requirements - it adapted both to domestic and international events. Apart from two permanent sections (gymnastics and horoscope) we prepared a series of interesting reports, advice and hosted interesting personalities in our studio. levision Slovenia Programme Unit Te Program za zamejce (Slovenes in Italy), which is one of the basic missions in the regional programme, followed the events on the other side of the boarder between Slovenia and Italy.

The diversity of offer of three national programmes constituting our basic activity (quality programme contents are imperative imposed on us by the founder) led our desire to try to reach two things in 2003: preserve its present status in radio media space and improve it with constant programme inventiveness. Even in 2003 we attentively followed the data on rating of all three radio programmes, which among others reveal our shares on the market: from 4.30 to 8.00 radio is listened to by 72% of all listeners, from 8.00 until 13.00 by 50%, from 13.00 until 19.00 by 54% and from 19.00 until 24.00 by 46% of questioned listeners older than 13 years (Research of Programmes and the Audience of RTV Slovenia and Measurement of 2003 Rating). Such public polls make us even more convinced that the programme offer is designed in an adequate manner and that we seriously respected one of the fundamental commandments of radio programme study, i.e. segmentation. Namely, there is no general audience with undefined habits and requirements. In 2003 we therefore addressed individual segments of listeners and adapted our programme offer to them by changing the existing schemes, especially on the 1st and 2nd programmes. Of course, this can be a risky undertaking In implementing programme obligations in 2003 we were burdened by the fact that we are more severely facing inexorable commercial competition. By competing at the 2003 tender for frequencies (for Val 202 and Radio SI) which are public goods we have one more experience, namely the division of the Slovene Mega hertz vast area got new extensions that must not be overlooked. Integrally speaking, the situation of Radio Slovenia in 2003 was not bad. The 1st and 2nd programmes increased their market share from 45% in 2002 to 46% in 2003. The share of both regional programmes, the Radio Maribor and the Radio Koper is 8%, which represents 90,000 listeners a day. The 1st programme of the national radio, A-1, reaches 365,000 listeners a day, whereas the 2nd programme, Val 202, reaches 275,000 listeners. The 1st programme remains reserved as a scene for airing informative political, commercial and cultural contents, the 2nd programme is more servicing, informative and contact, open to various views and the flow of information. The 3rd programme, called Programme Ars is not included in the statistics of this type due to its specific culture-arts, musical, creative and playing role. The achieved results are a good direction for our work in the future. In 2003 the Informative Programme was the most listened to and is the engine of our dynamic and versatile radio offer. A guarantee for the quality of our programme contents is consistent respect of the principles of objectivity, authenticity and impartiality. These principles were also taken into account at other programme profiles in culture-arts, religious, education contents or relaxation, sports and entertainment. A special stress was on the broadcasts for old people and the disabled, in 2003 we also created good programme initiatives that will help us upgrade the broadcasts for children and youth. A self-sufficient radio is a poor radio. Traditional programme anchors supported by strengthening the share among the listeners in 2003 helped us keep the role of a national medium as stipulated by the law and at the same time took care to profilate the contents, with which we might attract »active curious people, stay-athome people and last but not least unsatisfied listeners«. In 2003 the programmes of Radio Slovenia were carried out by 233 employees; this means that we did not hire any new persons, we lost three of them. We remain a relatively old collective. We could not implement the existing programme offer without the creativity of external employees, which results in increased programme costs. Miha Lampreht Director of RA Programmes of RTV Slovenia Programme Unit Ra dio Slovenia We could be self-satisfying in saying that the prevailing part of our programme tasks was successfully implemented in compliance with programme starting points and with the adopted yearly programme and business plan. Since the programme has to be judged in constant amendment and improvement, we cannot and do not want to be entirely satisfied with it. We constantly keep looking for new programme niches, new programme effects and new target public. In pursuing the key goals we used all complementary methods and practices that additionally strengthen radio as a medium in the consciousness of a listener. In this direction we also think about renewal of our programme pages on the Internet and simultaneously also use effective promotional contents to draw the audience’s attention to our programme offer. Even in 2003 we derived from continuity in its noblest professional sense. We are at the same time aware that we have to respond to new happenings and directions in the technological and production field of radio activity very quickly. We have to seriously consider the experience of comparable European media, especially in the sense of development of new media projects, introduction of new technologies and last but not least also the extension of co-production. per se. Loyal listeners are hard to get, yet they may be lost very quickly. 32 New s P r o g r a m m e s After presidential and local elections we followed the personnel transformation of the political institution system at the beginning of the year. The question was about electing a new president of the state and appointing a new prime minister as well as forming a new network of local administration institutions (193 new municipality councils and mayors). We prepared a thematic series of special broadcasts in the final part of preparations for Slovenia entering EU (especially in the field of agriculture). In the extensive discussion »pro et contra« we prepared a series of topical broadcasts in the period after the invitation to join NATO. A short summary: after the invitation at the summit of Prague and Kopenhagen there were referendums in March 2003 with the questions about Slovenia entering the EU and NATO and got quite considerable support. Followed the April signing of an Association Agreement with EU in Athens. compliance with the EU directives and preparations on the abolishment of monetary autonomy of Slovenia. We were also intensely engaged in the second phase of transition processes, i.e. takeovers and entering of foreign capital on the Slovene market. We would like to draw special attention to the agreement with public employees who agreed to a formula, according to which they refrained from the increase of wages in exchange for additional old age pension insurance, which is undoubtedly an achievement of social partnership. dio Slovenia Programme Unit Ra There were as much as five referendums in 2003! Apart from two referendums on Slovenia entering the EU and NATO there were referendums on Sunday opening times of shops, on reimbursement of investments into the erection of the telecommunication network and on privatisation of railways. Among economic topics were highlighted the uncompleted tax and health reform, renovation of budget policy in As far as external politics are concerned, we have to mention the war in Iraq and the arrest of Sadam Hussein at the end of last year, following efforts in the fight against terrorism, estrangement of Euro-American alliance as an introduction into the war of Iraq, the scandal Kelly in Great Britain and expanding of SARS and AIDS. Last but not least, it should be mentioned that in 2003 we took care of integral renovation of the identification presentation of the broadcasts of Daily News Programme. Bojan Veselinovič Managing Editor of News and Current Affairs Programmes of RA Slovenia 33 Culture a n d A r t s P r o g r a mmes The Culture and Arts Programmes of the Radio for 2003 almost entirely met the expectations from the programme and business plan. Compared to the year before, we mark a slight increase in the share of repeated airing of feature projects, to which we were forced due to the lack of money for original production. This increase was somewhat influenced by the fact that during the holidays on Val 202 (where featured broadcasts do regularly not appear) we repeated the utter successful series from ten years ago Klinika Tivoli. The jubilee year brought an echoing documentary serial on the history of Slovene radio play of the author Peter Zobec. The Children’s and Youth Programme additionally strengthened its presence in Morning and News Programme and on the programme Val 202. To a thematic expansion were subject the broadcasts Knjižnica za mlade and Za knjižne molje, in autumn we also filled the gap in the offer for student’s population that lacked a specialized broadcast until then. On Thursday evenings we started preparing Študentski val on Val 202, and we were soon joined by the Regional RTV Centres of Maribor and Koper which are also university centres. Programme Unit Ra dio Slovenia The Ars Programme preserved and cleaned its current concept of 24-hour programme for a more demanding listener. Essay broadcasts were joined into thematic groups, Since the Ministry of Culture co-financed the serial of which offered a clearer overview. We simultaneously aired Zobec on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of radio, broadcasts in terms each day at the same hour and thus we managed to use the remaining money to complete the satisfied the wishes of listeners for systematics. The 40th electronic files of the feature programme (e-Antigona), anniversary of the beginning of airing (when the two-hour which is compatible with similar data collections of the concert programme shared the transmitter network with Slovene Theatrical Museum and the Academy of Theatre, the 2nd radio programme) was celebrated by a publication Radio, Film and Television and allows searching among of a compact disk with a compilation of statements of almost 4000 archival units (broadcasts) by various search 40 Slovene intellectuals - listeners and co-creators of the criteria (by the author’s name, title, director, dramaturgist, 3rd programme. In September and October we further actors, music arranger…). aired a selection of 40 most quality broadcasts kept in our archives. We loyally attended actual events on Slovene and partly also on foreign cultural scenes (especially where our artists Vlado Senica performed) and acquainted the listeners with the most Managing Editor of Culture and Arts important moves in the final transformation of the national Programmes of RA Slovenia Culture Programme. 34 Mu s i c P r o g r a m m e In 2003 the Department for Serious Music of Radio Slovenia organized seven big concerts for the European Association of Radio Stations; it contributed to the enrichment of the archives with new recordings of Slovene music and for the first time organized its Festival of Chamber Groups of Young People. The year 2003 started with a direct transmission: - on January 1, 2003 from studio 14 to the waves of the BBC radio. The Music Programme joined the BBC project Z glasbo okoli sveta (With Music Around the World) with the concert of the ensemble Terrafolk. The concert was so eminently prepared that it ranked first and received the award Prix of the Listeners of the BBC radio. In 2003 the Music Programme of Radio Slovenia celebrated its 100th anniversary of death of the composer Hugo Wolf. The department organized a concert in the composer’s birthplace in Slovenj Gradec. On February 23, 2003 the Chamber Orchestra of RTV Slovenia prepared a concert of Wolf’s works and on the proposal of the Department for Choir Music the works were also recorded for the archives. Among the more outstanding recording projects in 2003 we should pay attention to the archive recording of the opera of this year’s nominee for the prize of the Prešernov sklad. The opera Kriton of Tomaž Svete was recorded. On our motion it was also included into the programme of Slovenski glasbeni dnevi 2003 (The Slovene Music Days 2003). As each year before the Music Programme of Radio Slovenia directly broadcasted the entire festival. dio Slovenia Programme Unit Ra Other milestones in the international activity in 2003 were among others: - February 23, 2003 - The concert of the Symphony Orchestra of RTV Slovenia in the framework of the cycle Radijski orkestri ustvarjajo zgodovino. The Symphony Orchestra was conducted by Sean Edwards, and for the first time the international public was presented the Primož Ramovš’ Žalna glasba and received positive notes of foreign critics. - July 12, 2003 - The music programme EBU aired the concert of Gallus’ motets. It is a result of a co-production with the Festival Brežice in which singers from eleven countries participated. - October 12, 2003 - We joined the project Evropski dan kulture (The European Day of Culture) with Slovene People’s Music. - December 21, 2003 - We prepared the traditional Christmas concert for the special day of Euroradio. We played the works of Hugo Wolf and of French masters. For the first time the young Slovene organist Tomaž Sevšek was presented to the audience. To demanding projects of 2003 can also be counted the journalistic coverage and editorial attention of the greatest music event in the country - the festival Svetovni glasbeni dnevi 2003 (The World Music Days 2003) (between September 26 and October 3, 2003). Music editors and co-workers of the Department for Serious Music of Radio Slovenia took care of information to public, of critical evaluations of concerts and prepared direct transmissions of concerts. On the occasion of this festival 19 concert events were recorded. 15 concert events were prepared in the Department for Serious Music also for the exchange in the framework of the European Association of Radio Stations and this event was also covered in our Informative Programmes. Between June 23 and June 29, 2003 the Music Programme of Radio Slovenia prepared the project Evrointegracije (Eurointegrations) in Nova Gorica. The world known ensemble Combattimento Consort Amsterdam, the conductor Jan Willem de Vriend and the violinist Gordan Nicolich with the Chamber Orchestra of RTV Slovenia prepared a concert of Slovene music heritage. The songs of Izak Poš, Janez Krstnik Dolar and Giuseppe Tartini were also recorded for the radio archives. The selection of works was a result of co-operation with the Institute of Musicology of the scientific-research centre of the Slovene Academy of Arts and Sciences. The scientists of the Institute were so overwhelmed with the performance that the recordings will be used also in the presentation of the Institute on the web sites. Between May 19 and May 24, 2003 the Music Programme for the first time organized a Festival of Chamber Groups of Young People which was given the name Allegretto. All concert events were recorded, three times we also entered into live transmissions on the 3rd programme and once also on the 1st programme in the framework of youth’s broadcasts Gymnasium. We entirely recorded two festivals of old music - in Brežice and Radovljica. We have to mention also the Festival of Chansons and about 50 new things in this connection. Our joint efforts resulted in the success of the concert of the Symphony Orchestra of RTV Slovenia with the group Siddharta. Ivanka Mulec Ploj Managing Editor of the Music Programme of RA Slovenia 35 Radio Ma r i b o r One of its basic tasks is co-creation of central three national programmes which are originally prepared in Ljubljana. In the field of news Radio Maribor prepared some 1500 short newscasts, in the culture and music fields it occupies an important place in the promotion of culture and art creativity within the 3rd programme - Programme Ars. It concerns recordings and transmissions of classical music concerts, co-operation with the Maribor Opera and Maribor Philharmonics, promotion of vocal groups (e.g. Carmina Slovenica), choirs (in the framework of the festival Naša pesem)... On a yearly basis this presents more than 100 hours of programme from the culture and musical field! Radio Maribor also participates with its contributions in the entertainment, documentary and feature, sports and recreative fields. In 2003 we put into life the quiz Umko meant for primary schools. In co-operation with the colleagues at the Radio Koper we prepare a regular weekly broadcast Sotočje and once a month an agricultural broadcast and live shows of masses for the Ars Programme. We prepared a series of more demanding broadcasts and contributions in the framework of established radio brands like Studio ob 17h, Nedeljski gost na Valu 202, Tedenski aktualni mozaik… The production of Culture-Arts Programme also had great repercussions - a majority of radio plays (eight of them in total) were recorded in Maribor and aired on three central national programmes. In 2003 Radio Maribor also created a 24-hour programme of Radio Slovenia International (RSI) in foreign languages – with short newscasts and dynamic music; the employees of Radio SI offered newscasts of the 1st and 2nd programmes of Radio Slovenia in foreign languages. Anton Petelinšek Managing Editor of the Regional RA Programme in the Regional RTV Centre Maribor Programme Unit Ra dio Slovenia In 2003 Radio Maribor daily aired on two frequencies almost 17 hours of programme thus performing decent national media function on the regional level. It prepared newscasts of the events from north-eastern Slovenia and especially in Maribor as the second biggest urban, culture and university centre of Slovenia. It performed public broadcasts of numerous topical events in the region. 36 Rad i o K o p e r In compliance with the Programme-Business Plan for 2003 Radio Koper preserved the programme contents and the current scheme. These are defined by the status of the station as the Public Service Broadcaster RTV Slovenia. The Informative Programme was carried out by the plan both in the sense of a regional programme and in the role of a collective correspondent. We took some internal measures to prevent the removal of some broadcasts from the programme scheme, which would otherwise be inevitable due to the cutting down and re-arrangement of means intended for variable use. The implementation was possible with the shortening of some broadcasts and by diminishing the number of programme projects which are more demanding in the sense of production and finances. dio Slovenia Programme Unit Ra Among others we co-operated with Radio Trst A and again carried out the programme projects Naš športnik and Primorska poje, the latter being the most massive review of choirs in Europe. We also continued a series of echoing Sunday matinees for the youngest, in which children hosted writers, illustrators, musicians, actors and other creators who work for them. Despite big organisational troubles emerging as a consequence of limited resources, we continued preparation and implementation (in a smaller scope than originally foreseen) of music broadcasts Radio Live, which are especially important in the promotional sense, mostly because of the fact that they help us reach the category of young listeners (aged between 18 and 25). On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the humoristic broadcast of Radio Koper Du, jes? we prepared a public radio broadcast Praznik smeha in Koper in November. The event overwhelmed almost 5,000 spectators who filled the Koper hall Bonfika until the last corner. The data of the competent institutions show that even in 2003 Radio Koper remained the most listened radio station on the territory of broader Primorska region.

Last year, the programme of TV Slovenia broadcasted 192 30-minute broadcasts in the Hungarian language with special accent on the national culture, education, preservation of history and minority politics. These new broadcasts have filled the gap in the field of preparations of broadcasts for children and youth and in the field of more extensive topical issues.

Programmes for Na tional Communitie s In the past years we have placed much effort into Cultural, Educational and Entertainment improvements, which we continued also in 2003, Programmes were marked by the increase of quality especially in the framework of some structures and of own production programme. Apart from already programme terms. Partial re-organisation of daily established broadcasts like Istria e dintorni – Istra informative news allowed us to improve especially in..., Un paese al mese – Vas meseca, Itinerari direct information in radio daily newscast containing as - Potopis, L’ universo é… - Vesolje je... a special many contributions from the field as possible and with development is noted with the broadcast Artevisione as wide spectre of news as possible. The Informative – Oddaja o kulturi in both the magazine and studio Programme is variegated and interesting, which versions. This is one of rare television programmes on we proved also with special programmes and extra art offering an insight into the versatility of creativity, publications of the radio newscast. We attended to exhibitions etc. also in the broader area of the the events in Iraq, the referendums for the accession neighbouring countries. of Slovenia to NATO and EU, to the meeting at the summit of the quadrilateral at Brdo pri Kranju and many other events. In the field of long-path programme project we started the television multimedia project entitled Istria nel The programme was mostly oriented towards the tempo - Istra skozi čas. The first three out of Italian community in Slovenia, towards the activities six 30-minute co-financed documentaries will be and creativity of the Slovene community in Italy, presumably implemented in 2003 and partly in 2004. towards culture and arts creativity in Slovenia and in a number of cultural, musical and literary events If we look at foreign production, the quality and the that accompany the life in our environment. We rating of spectators prevail in direction of documentary also found it very important to report on the living, broadcasts acquisitioned also in co-operation with TV cultural and arts events in Slovenia and within the Slovenia and sport live shows as well as other sports Italian community in Istria, especially in that segment programmes prepared by the colleagues from the concerning the so-called common institutions, the role, Sports Department. function and activities of the community of Italians. We also continued work on the project of Transfrontier The programme scheme of Radio Capodistria is based television and in co-operation with RAI and supported above all on informative broadcasts with highlights by organisation of the Italian and Slovene minorities on topical issues. In compliance with plans for 2003 we have prepared a candidature for the means of we prepared broadcasts concerning community EU with the television project Dober dan, Evropa. topics (Dimensione minoranza – Razsežnosti The project was selected in the past three months manjšine), culture (Incontri – Srečanja and together with the Italian and Slovene colleagues from Spazio attualitá cultura – Novosti na kulturni the Trieste seat of RAI, and in co-operation with the sceni), internal politics and information from the Regional RTV Centre Koper/Capodistria we prepared Parliament (Se ne parla il venerdí – Petkov and broadcasted a series of broadcasts in Slovene pogovor), tourism (Sogni di vacanza – Sanje o and Italian languages about the extension of EU and dopustu) and a weekly newscast on topical events Slovenia acceding EU. in Slovenia and in the world (Domenica ore undici Robert Apollonio – V nedeljo ob 11. uri). Managing Editor of the TV Programme for the Italian Community 44 We have to highlight the broadcasts intended for the Italian community, among which: the weekly broadcast intended for the schools of the Italian minority (Un anno di scuola – Šolsko leto), an extensive cycle of portraits of interesting persons from the national minority or Italians living all over the world (Dialoghi - Dialogi), a weekly satirical broadcast on the topical events in Slovenia, Istria and Friaul-Julia (Io la penso cosí – Moje mnenje je), and also the broadcast created by young people for young people and treat the topics concerning the youth of today (Popcorn). s tional Communitie Programmes for Na Co-operation between the journalist’s redaction and the redaction of speaking programme is very important. We did away with the sharp delimitation line between individual redactions and thus introduced a new form of a more productive co-operation between two groups, which is reflected in the improved quality of the programme. The programme part Calle degli orti grandi - Ulica velikih vrtov and La radio nella rete - Radio v mreži, prepared by the contact and musical redactions is based on such foundation. The advantage of this Morning Programme is to create an environment for a more intense and active co-operation between the news redaction and the redaction of contact shows. Thus we created a new mode of co-creation between individual programme units and improved the quality of the programme. We have implemented the set plan, although the programme of Radio Capodistria has been rationalized both in personnel and material matters. Such circumstances were a burden to us in the past three months of 2003 when we were forced to operate in utterly severe conditions due to urgent savings measures. The costs for the implementation of broadcasts were on a very low level, the fees of employees almost symbolical. Despite all this, the programme ran almost without failures on high quality level, which was above all the result of will, professionalism and commitment of journalists, redactors, editors and other employees. Vladimiro Dellore Managing Editor of the RA Programme for the Italian Community FLEHA SLIKA When I'm not playing the violin with the Symphonics, I passionately listen to the news on music scales. 47 organisa t i o n U n i t M u s i c Production The year 2003 will certainly become a turning point in the history of the Music Production Organisation Unit, because in all fields of operation the first results of the efforts are evident. Organisation Unit s and that point at a right way that we will go along in the future. It has proved that the common projects of Big Band and the Symphonics of RTV Slovenia are more than a success and also justified both in artistic and business senses. For the first time after the times The Symphony Orchestra of RTV Slovenia began of Jože Privšek the orchestra is able to fill in the Gallus a steep path towards excellence. Concert halls are full of Hall in the Cankarjev dom in Ljubljana. It is delightful listeners and with the concert on September 13, 2003 that in the programmes of RTV there is more and on the stadium Bežigrad, the name of the orchestra more interest in the co-operation with Big Band, so was shot into the orbit of the young people together that the orchestra set even new records in the works with the Siddharta band. Young people are the biggest performed. Last year it achieved the absolute record, for target group we want to lure to our concerts. We are it recorded three times more archival material than two also very proud of the really magnificent response of the years ago, which was also a record year in this sense. audience to our newly conceived concerts at Sunday We finally appointed a new musical producer of Big mornings - the so-called Mozartinas. The orchestra has Band who has distinguished himself by professionalism concentrated its work especially on the performance of and commitment. One of the major goals of this band archival records and thus improved the ratio between was to improve the ratio between archival and concert concert activities and recordings to the benefit of activity, because especially recording music for archives the latter. In the past four years we have noticed the is the thing that mostly justifies the existence of our biggest increase of archival recordings which surpasses musical bands. Many internationally recognized names the earlier most successful increase level of 2000 for co-operated with the orchestra and our arrangers and almost once. Apart from its regular concert season in composers also distinguished themselves with new Slovenia, the Symphony Orchestra of RTV Slovenia had approaches and sensitive intensivity of jazzistic message successful visits abroad. At the beginning of the year it to the listeners. inaugured the new concert hall and a cycle of concerts of symphony music in the Austrian Graz, which was The Chamber Choir of RTV Slovenia, led by the city of culture of 2003. The appearance in Italy the conductor Stojan Kuret, set new directions in was also a success. A year before the accession to its operation. Personnel fluctuation and permanent EU we presented our cultural mission at the festival of recruitement of the best personnel, who were invited nations that paid special attention to Slovenia as the to the professional group in Ljubljana, jeopardized the future EU member. The orchestra hosted top conductors homogeneity of the Choir to a great extent and caused and soloists. In September Maestro David de Villiers many problems in the field of implementation and took place of the chief conductor. He is a man with organisation. The problems were done away with at clear vision and much energy to enforce changes and the end of the year and the choir took a new breath rejuvenescence of the ensemble both in the sense with full lungs. Despite the problems the results are of programme and performance. The Orchestra also encouraging and point at the increase compared with participated in the largest musical performance in the the previous four years both in concert participation and world, Svetovni glasbeni dnevi (The World Music Days) in recording practicum. The Choir recorded a complete and received many flattering critics of foreign experts choir opus of the composer Hugo Wolf and recorded and visiting musicians. One of the peaks of the season and performed also the new opera of the Slovene was certainly the departure of Marko Munih, the composer Tomaž Svete. permanent conductor of the Symphony Orchestra of RTV Slovenia. He concluded his professional path on The Children and Youth Choir of RTV Slovenia is RTV Slovenia with a magnificent performance of Verdi’s no longer conducted by the long-year conductor Matevž Requiem and with a tour in Slovenia and abroad. Fabijan and its management underwent refreshment right away. The Youth Choir has been conducted since Big Band of RTV Slovenia underwent some radical autumn by the excellent and promising choir leader rejuvenescence (mostly diplomants of foreign jazz Tomaž Pirnat. There has not been so much interest for academies) and was the king on the Slovene jazz scene the participation in rehearsals since a long time and also in 2003. Monthly concerts in Studio 14 are on a after several years we witness an extraordinary growth high quality level, unfortunately, the room is too small in the Choir cast. This cast in connection with the new for all those who would like to visit the concert. So leadership is very promising and we are convinced that the wishes for own recording and concert hall become our youngest casts are in front of a new spring. more and more justified. Co-operation of Big Band has lifted several common RTV projects to that quality level The Group of Producers for Serious Music managed to that we have striven for since ever (Slovenska popevka, set one more record despite very scarce members. In mariborska Narečna popevka, Ježkova nagrada prize, 2003 we recorded no less than 32,288 minutes of the anniversary of Jure Robežnik and other projects) music, which would represent 587 CDs! This is certainly 48 a result that will be hard to repeat. Although we meet new technology demanding always new approaches every day, the young team knew its way round well and knew how to make use of the offered challenge. In the framework of financial business we achieved the set goals and decisively kept to unfavourable frameworks in the plans. Assisted by the Marketing and Public Relations Service we considerably surpassed the plans with the so-called other commercial revenues. The increase of the costs of labour is something that is frightening. Despite a drastical cut-off of the number of employees in the Organisation Unit Music Production, this item is on a constant increase from a year to a year. The year 2003 brought along one more interesting record, because we reached the almost unrepeatable number of listeners at one concert – 30,000! Having all the above in mind, we are full of optimism, which helps us enter the new morning with much energy and with highly set goals.

In music there Top five sellers: were 16 publications of serious music (17% share), 39 publications of easy listening music (40%), 27 Casettes and CDs: publications of folk music (28%) and 14 publications - 50 let Avsenikove glasbe of children’s and educational contents (15% share). - Nuša Derenda - Na štiri oči 127,140 pieces of CDs, 145,046 pieces of audio - Ansambel Franca Miheliča - Moj dragi dom cassettes, 32,716 pieces of video cassettes and 2,000 - Katalena - (Z)godbe pieces of DVDs were produced. - Elza Budau - Na pragu let Compared to 2002 the production of video cassettes has increased by 23%, the production of CDs by 16% and the production of audio cassettes has decreased by 30%. In co-operation with the Ministry of Culture and Radio Slovenia we published 12 CDs of serious music. Apart from in-house projects the Record Label offered service activity to external partners - from the initial idea until the final product. Among the most important partners should be mentioned: the Slovene Academy of Arts and Sciences, The Association of Slovene Composers, Republic’s Examination Centre, Menart, d. o. o., Racman, d. o. o., Pego, d. o. o. and many other small clients. Video Casettes and DVDs: - Pozabljeni zaklad - Erazem in potepuh - Franček (Franklin) (series 1-13) - Roli, Poli, Oli (series 1-6) - Frančkov čarobni božič (Franklin’s Magic Christmas) 51 Organisa t i o n U n i t T r a n s m itters and Communications The basic task of the Transmitters and Communications Organisation Unit was also in 2003 to transmit the programmes of RTV Slovenia and of commercial and non-commercial radio and television programmes in the Republic of Slovenia. Within the last few decades several transmitting networks have been built and connected with microwave links for the distribution of programmes from radio and television stations or between them. All over Slovenia there are 227 transmission points, via which we service listeners and spectators with the programmes of RTV Slovenia, on numerous points we host local, regional and commercial radio and television stations. We should neither neglect the data on our presence on the Hot Bird Satellite (13 degrees east), through which RTV Slovenia airs its two national TV channels and five radio channels since 2002 also with its own satellite terrestrial satellite station. Besides the programmes aired by RTV Slovenia, RTV Slovenia also broadcasts programmes from 25 commercial and 21 non-commercial radio and television stations. Our comprehensive infrastructure of transmitters and transponders allows us to lease some of our capacity to other operators and services utilising it for corporate links (mobile phone operators, Telekom, Elektrogospodarstvo, Petrol, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, road-constructions companies...) and other broadcasters. On December 2003 the Transmitters and Communications Organisation Unit employed 142 people, four people less than at the beginning of the year. The employees take care of undisturbed operation of all transmission networks and of investment activities. The Organisation Unit groups are located across the whole Slovenia. Seven national transmitting station and six regional transmitting station crews ensure that the transmission of programmes runs smoothly. Report on the Consumption of Finances for Investments and Investment Maintenance The following figure shows the investments in 2003 intended for: - the reconstruction of technology, - the overhaul of supporting infrastructure, - security equipment, - new transmitter units, - new technologies, - investment maintenance.

The security equipment funds were invested in the purchase of security guides for climbing up towers. The new transmitter unit funds were invested into the purchase of satellite receivers, RDS-encoders and measurement instruments. The new technologies funds were invested into the purchase of the instruments for digital technology, a very small portion of these funds is a consequence of the standstill of introduction of new digital technologies like DAB, DVB, DRM in the field of radio and television in Europe and in the rest of the world. There are still only two test transmitters of DAB and DVB technologies. FLEHA I l i ke w o r k i n g a t R T V Slovenia. The work is dynamic and is a challenge e v e r y d a y. SLIKA 55 Human Re s o u r c e s , O r g a n i s ation, Training and Informat i o n T e c h n o l o g y P e r s o n n e l structure On December 31, 2003 the Public Service Broadcaster RTV Slovenia employed 2,176 full time employees. 634 regular part-time workers and 214 students were also employed. In 2003 the number of full-time employees decreased by 137 people, a majority of them retired. Retirement will present some big problems in the future, because the law on labour relations allows a worker who meets all formal requirements for retirement to keep on working. The plan of the number of employees as per the last day of 2003 was not met especially due to unsuccessful public tenders for the exclusion of activity of protection of people and assets. Status of Employees as per December 31, 2003 Full-time Employees Part-time Employees Invalids 10 4 5 0 7 10 7 2 0 3 48 16 13 9 3 11 1 3 2 0 19 77 Poorly Regular Regular Employable Free-lancers Students Total OU/BU TV Slovenija TV Production RA Slovenia RA Production Regional RTVC Koper/Capodistria Regional RTVC Maribor Music Production Transmitters and Communications Record Label Common Services Total 363 385 233 98 282 137 106 142 15 415 2,176 3 5 1 2 11 22 272 6 86 4 76 109 28 8 7 38 634 82 24 21 4 20 12 16 1 1 33 214 717 415 340 106 378 258 150 151 23 486 3,024 The working staff is old (average age is 47) and possesses poor educational structure, which represents additional problems in the transformation of the institution due to new technologies (multimedia, digitalisation and other). Among the employees of RTV Slovenia there are 9% people younger than 30 years, 61% of the employees are aged between 30 and 50 and 30% of the employees are older than 50 years. This older group is especially legally protected as to the working place. The average yearly absence (in the past five years) due to sick leave is 6%. The situation in the field of meeting education requirements for a job or a tariff class is extremely critical. Among the full-time employees there is almost a half of them (47%) who do not meet education requirements. A higher education than required is only possessed by 4.5% of employees, the required education level is reached by somewhat less than one half of the employees (48.5%). Truly, there are about a hundred of specific jobs at RTV, for which it is impossible to get formal education and need to be learned on the spot (functional knowledge), which is done at RTV Slovenia. However, it is of great concern that as much as 42.5% of managers lack proper education. Almost half of all employees (45.6%) have completed secondary school (4-year programme). 33.2% of employees completed higher and university education. 12.1% of employees completed vocational secondary school (3-year programme) and there are 3.9% of employees with primary school or even unfinished primary school. 1.2% of employees have a master degree, 0.2% of employees have a Ph.D. All the mentioned facts have a strong influence on the efficiency of management. In the middle of the year we conducted a management research which showed a poor situation in the field of skills and knowledge of the management for managing works and also poor results in the field of management. A structural model also showed links between skills and knowledge of management and the management results. Essential disadvantages were detected in the field of use of power, methods and ways of solving disputes, in the field of communication and personal traits and skills of the managers. These should be done away with in the future by a better selection of new managers and by introducing additional education of both the managers and the employees with the contents from mutual relations, team work and management. Common Services The years of work of the employees of RTV Slovenia are just slightly shorter than their total years of work. They were employed a majority of their active period at RTV Slovenia and they do not change jobs (there is almost no fluctuation). There are two reasons for it. The first one lies in the specifics of occupations (also attractiveness of media) at RTV Slovenia, owing to which the change of job is not simple. Another reason is no doubt high employment safety. 56 E d u cation A need for professional training of employees dictated preparation of special educational programmes and training for some specific profiles of employees. We internally verified programmes for the profiles of television implementation: for secretaries of directors, assistants and realizers of the Editorial of Daily News - their training started in the last months of the year. We also started preparing educational programmes for 35 other jobs, internal implementation of these programmes and verification is intended for the year 2004. In co-operation with the British Council and the Thompson foundation two 2-week seminars for producers were organized and they were attended to by 26 employees. We also included over 150 young people (students) into the education and they were acquainted with practical basics of journalism. We organized four courses of journalism. Media test was passed by 12 candidates. In the field of system development and hardware we upgraded the journalist’s information system Avstar on all three locations (Ljubljana, Koper and Maribor) and set up the system ControlAir for the link with character generators. We established WAN connections to the location in Lendava and supervisory centres of the Transmitters and Communications Organization Unit and we implemented a transition from the operating system Windows NT to Windows 2003. We optimized the system of the central data security with additional equipment which allowed us to extend capacities. 350 new computers were purchased for the employees. One of our successes is also the transition to the information support for the management of the archives so that about 30% of all archival material was processed until the end of the year (radio broadcasts), whereby also now there are about 20% of searches performed in an electronic way. Organisation For 92 participants divided in 16 groups we organized In further restructuring of the Broadcaster we had a foreign language courses (English, German, French, tender for the implementation of the renovation of Italian). External seminars were participated by 148 business processes. We had the situation assessed by employees. The study out of work includes 105 gathering the data and we had negotiations with the employees. The trainee examination was passed by 15 carriers of key business processes. On this basis some trainees. We organized 16 courses of safety at work starting point problem analyses were performed. The that were attended to by 370 participants. We granted renovation of business processes will allow a merger 15 personnel and 16 social scholarships. of several working tasks into one and performance of work where it is most reasonable and efficient, good transparency of processes, shorter transition times and Information Technolo g y performance of tasks in a logical sequence. Common Services In the field of application development we introduced information support to purchasing with the application for the performance of public orders of small values. We completed the project for the support of monitoring contracts of part-time free-lancers, we also completed work in the field of radio documentation and archiving of radio documentation in electronic form. We introduced a documentation system for the needs of financial-accounting department in the field of wages. We introduced and integrated the programme for planning of television and radio production (ScheduALL). We started working on the information support for the RTV licence fee. In recovery measures in the field of purchase the achieved effect was in the amount of 247 million tolars. The introduction of the programme ScheduALL created a new independent Central Planning Service (CPS) on the institution level. It also includes planning of production and personnel capacities for the Programme Unit Radio and for both regional centres. The CPS became an interface member between editorials (producers) on one side and production and implementation on the other. The basic task of the CPS is optimal arrangement of production requirements of the programme in the framework of production and implementation possibilities with the stress on the rational use of programmes and personnel. CPS also got an important role in the analysis of programme requirements and in the preparation of new broadcasts. 57 Marketin g a n d P u b l i c R e lations In May 2003 we saw some changes in the management of the field and later on also in the way of work and organizational changes. The goals were to simplify working processes and to consider the situation on the market. We decreased the number of management levels and we have organized three new departments: Sales Department, Promotion and Marketing Department and Public Relations Department. The realisation of marketing revenues in 2003 amounted to 3,925,342,000 tolars whereas the plan set for 2003 expected the marketing revenues to reach 4,774,185,000 tolars. The realisation of the plan was 82.2%. The realisation of revenues of the Sales Department of Television Programmes in 2003 reached 2,855,193,000 tolars (together with barter business). The plan was realised 82.5%. Unlike planned, the advertising revenues were lower especially due to severe economic crisis, cut of the entire advertising market, poorly conceived and unstable programme scheme, which is true especially for television, and inflexibility and poor organisation of the Sales Department. In the second half of 2003 we started reorganizing the Sales Department and its major goal is the change of the way of work. At the end of 2003 we also prepared new sales conditions which will allow better flexibility and an increase of advertising revenues. The main course of the Promotion and Marketing Department in 2003 was the celebration of the 75th anniversary of Radio Slovenia and the 45th anniversary of Television Slovenia. Starting with the new year we introduced a special logo 75/45 that became a constituent part of promotion of events and broadcasts of RTV Slovenia in public. The most echoing event linked to the jubilee of the RTV Slovenia was the concert of the Symphony Orchestra and the Siddharta group at the stadium at Bežigrad in Ljubljana that was visited by over 30,000 people. The main celebration of anniversaries of radio and television was prepared simultaneously with the traditional awarding of the Ježkova nagrada prize in the Slovene National Theatre of Maribor. In 2003 40 contracts for the advertising in radio programmes on the Radio Slovenia were concluded, which brought us 609,206,000 tolars. This represents 15.8% less revenues in 2003 from contracts. The revenue from notices and congratulations are on the decrease from a year to another. In 2003 they dropped by 10 million tolars or 18.9% in comparison with 2002. The 2003 plan expected 797,678,000 tolars revenues of advertising in radio programmes. The realisation of this plan was 89.3%. The realisation Apart from big projects the work also included of revenues of the Sales Department of Radio preparation of radio and television trailers for the Programmes in 2003 amounted to 712,722,000 broadcasts in regular programme. We were successful tolars, which is 13.7% less than in 2002. in producing the Slovene Lottery broadcasts, we unified the scene and introduced the new game The realisation of revenues of the Regional RTV Centre Astro. The broadcasts were led by new permanent Koper/Capodistria in 2003 amounted to 177,749,000 moderators. tolars out of the expected 209,939,000 tolars. The realisation of the plan for 2003 was 84.7%. The realisation in 2002 was 198,103,000 tolars, which means that the revenues in 2003 decreased by 11.4% in comparison with 2002. Common Services The recession in the advertising market which dates back to 2002 continued also in 2003, which was manifested the whole year through in the lack of implementation of the very ambitiously set plan of advertising revenue. Much time was invested into the establishment of the work system for the future, and the results will only be evident in 2004. The realisation of revenues of the Regional RTV Centre Maribor in 2003 reached 159,678,000 tolars out of the expected 207,113,000 tolars. This means that the plan was realised 77.1%. The revenues in 2002 reached 168,391,000 tolars, which means that the revenues in 2003 decreased by 5.4% in comparison with 2002. 58 Inv e s t m e n t s Investments are made into those technological systems and equipment that contribute to the lowering of production and programme costs and diminish the number of the necessary personnel, strengthen our competitive level and increase the attractiveness of our programme which contributes to better rating and simultaneously increases the reliability of operation of technical and technological systems. It also reduces costs for their maintenance. The scope of extension of technological capacities includes: new rooms at Lendava, the journalists system Avstar, licences of SW Oracle, computer network (LAN and WAN), new computer and telecommunication equipment, universal telecommunication wiring, new transmitting units and multimedia equipment. Common Services The plan was divided. Bigger projects of the renewal of technological capacities were a telecinema and an image corrector, reconstruction of a synchro studio, exchange of the magnetoscopic platform with the IMX system, switching system of radio distribution box, upgrade of the DALET system, exchange and renewal of heating-cooling systems, exchange of cooling ceilings, computer network, upgrade of the Avstar system, purchase of licences, recovery of television distribution box and airing of the programme, renovation of the radio direction room and the systems for audio editing in the Regional RTV Centre Koper/ Capodistria and renovation of studios and director rooms in the Regional RTV Centre Maribor. Expenses for investments in 2003 without any investments into the renovation of fixed assets and small inventory »as fixed assets«, totalled 1,921 million tolars, which is less than planned by 736 million tolars (65% of the plan). The planned and actual expenses include co-financing for the constructional works at Lendava in the amount of 100 million tolars. 59 MULTIMED I A C E N T R E Multimedia Centre The Multimedia Centre carried out several technological The initial SMS applications were upgraded by new applications related to entertainment (txt biorhythm, and contents projects in 2003. We exchanged the matches, gallows).

In co-production of nine EBU member states we have developed the web game Sportzarena (that was adequately presented in media). 60 FLEHA 62 By listening to and watching traveller's broadcasts, in which passionate travellers described their adventures, I got an inspiration also for my journey to Australia.

The Programme and Business Plan for 2003 included reorganisation measures in the field of programmes and in other fields. The goals were set very high and were therefore not entirely implemented. Despite that the effects are evident especially in the field of purchase, in the field of diminishing or restructuring of personnel and in increased revenues from the unpaid licence fee collection. The discrepancy between the revenues and the expenses on one side was increased by the drop of advertising revenues and on the other by the surplus of variable expenses and amortization. The biggest influence on the amount of the surplus was also in this year exercised by the burden of tax obligations in the amount of 963 million tolars. The Tax Administration started collecting debt, which had a negative influence on the solvency of the Public Service Broadcaster. In 2003 we were also successful in RTV licence fee collection, because we reached a positive shift from the planned in the total amount of 111 million tolars. Advertising revenues in 2003 amounted to 3,925 million tolars, which is 849 million tolars or 17.8% less than the planned scope. In comparison with the revenues achieved in 2002 they are lower by 7.2% or 305 million tolars. Out of the total revenues advertising only represents a 16.5% share, which had a strong impact on business operations in 2003 having the negative tendency in mind. The required goals set in the framework of the recovery plan and included in the 2003 plan were not entirely achieved on the costs side. Despite that a comparison with 2002 points at a limitation of consumption of variable costs (no essential increase). The plan was exceeded especially in the group of variable costs, whereas in the framework of fixed costs certain savings were achieved. In 2003 we faced a negative shift from plans in amortization (due to consideration of lower amortization levels in planning). In 2003 we paid much attention to the managing of labour costs. Since there was a higher number of employees and these costs exceeded the plan, we had additional measures on the variable part of the labour costs (lowering of the scope of overtime hours, prizing) to save as much to almost nullify the negative shift. Based on all the above, the Public Service Broadcaster ended the business year 2003 with 2,620 million surplus of expenses over revenues. At the end of 2003 the assets and equity of the Public Service attained 16,823 million tolars. 18.1% of assets fell for short-term deposited means, 2.7% for stock and 79.2% for long-term deposited means. Short-term obligations represented 65% of all sources and long-term obligations 35%. At the end of December 2003 we had 3,542 million tolars raised loans, of that 2,078 million tolars shortterm loans (including the short-term part of long-term loans in the amount of 1,066 million tolars), and 1,464 million tolars long-term loans. The mentioned loans represent 21.1% of all equities in the balance sheet. Despite a worse solvency situation we managed to diminish the debt of the Public Service Broadcaster in 2003 by 335 million tolars. Our own and long-term equity cover 44.2% of all longterm deposited means, which means that there are 7,435 million tolars covered by short-term equity. Financial Report In 2003 17,269 million tolars licence fee revenues were realized, which represents a 72.8% share in the total revenues. The latter exceeded the planned for 2003 by 344 million tolars, especially due to the increase of RTV licence fee (June 2003), partly also due to campaigns of acquisition of new licence fee payers. Despite a 3% decrease of these revenues in compliance with the statutes on measures for financing of programme contents of radio or television programmes with the status of local, regional or student’s programme, the revenues from RTV licence fee exceeded those of 2002 by 350 million tolars or 2.1%. A large part of loss of advertising revenues in 2003 is covered by other commercial revenues - higher than planned. These revenues represent a 9.5% share of the total revenues. 64 I n c ome Statement in Thousand EUROS 2003 2002 101,493 5,720 4,171 103,350 3,916 3,469 98 146 120 Total Revenues 111,385 110,735 101
