OMRI DAILY DIGEST
No. 106, 1 June 1995
HUNGARIAN PREMIER CRITICIZES WEST. Gyula Horn on 31 May told an economic
conference in Budapest that international financial institutions "do not
pay proper attention to the predicament of the Central and East European
region," international media reported. Horn argued that Western
countries are not showing enough understanding for the difficulties of
the transition from a centrally planned to a free market economy. Horn
did not specify which financial institutions he had in mind, but the IMF
and the World Bank have both said they will not extend further credits
or development assistance until Hungary sharply reduces government
spending and its huge current account deficit. -- Jiri Pehe, OMRI, Inc.

**HUNGARIAN PM LOOKS FOR UNDERSTANDING**
Hungarian Prime Minister Gyula Horn yesterday accused western
governments and financial institutions of not trying to
understand the problems faced by post-communist countries.
Horn told a group of international bankers and business people
at the 2 day Economist Conference in Budapest that Hungary's
rapid change to a market economy could hurt what he called
social peace. Horn said western financial institutions are
demanding "a maximum level of reform and also a maximum level
of social peace and the two can hardly ever go hand in hand".
The International Monetary Fund and World Bank have both said
Hungary must sharply reduce its budget and current account
deficits before the country can receive more financial help.

Intro: Since communism collapsed in Central Europe in 1989
thousands of business ventures have started -- and many have
failed. One unique business idea that may be succeeding after a
tough start is "Central Europe Today," a daily business radio
program in english that is increasingly being heard throughout
the region. V-o-A's Barry Wood has more from Budapest.
Text: (musical opening, voice, music, voice, under and fade)
Whether you are in Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, or soon Bucharest,
this 15 minute news program is the way an increasing number of
english speakers are starting their day.
"Central Europe Today" is the creation of Trevor Cornwell, a 30-
year old New York native who first came to Budapest in 1991.
Produced the previous evening at a modest studio in Budapest, the
program is relayed by satellite to partner stations in the
various capitals. The local stations can sell their own
advertising and have a window for local news.
A computer buff and company president, Mr. Cornwell also makes
his program available through the InterNet. Targetted mostly at
the expatriate business market, "Central Europe Today" has
attracted advertisers like Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and Compaq
Computer.
The first year of operation has been difficult. "Central Europe
Today" lost its affiliate in Prague and was out of that market
for four months. Mr. Cornwell says he has learned that the
product must be what the stations and the listeners want.
//Cornwell act//
You have to go right for the jugular. And say, we want
to give you the information your competitor is going to
get. And we're looking at a lot of sources and have
correspondents that are tuned in (to events). We don't
have any connections with the establishment and the old
order here. We're just here to shake it up a little bit.
So, you're going to hear something different on our show
than you are anywhere else.
//End act//
Part of the reason that "Central Europe Today" survives is that
it is a low cost operation. The cost of delivering the product to
affiliate stations is only 18 hundred dollars per month.
Overheads are low with few permanent employees. And Mr. Cornwell
and his youthful colleagues, huddled around their laptop
computers, keep a sharp eye on profit and loss.
// Cornwell act//
Our advertising revenues--I keep a profit and loss chart
for 1994 on the wall to remind me how easy it is to
spend money and hard it is to earn it. We started out
with a very strong base of advertising, at about ten to
20 thousand dollars a year. And we closed out December
with just about 30 thousand dollars a year. So our
income trebled over the first eight months we were on
the air.
//End act//
Mr. Cornwell says Budapest is the city in which he finds it
easiest to do business. He finds Poland, with its huge domestic
market, challenging and getting easier. He is optimistic about
Romania. Recent plans to expand to Moscow have been dropped.
Central Europe Today's success is not yet assured. But there are
arrangments with C-N-N in the works and Mr. Cornwell is
considering making the product available on television. (Signed)

Intro: The defense ministers of Hungary, Poland, the Czech
Republic, and Slovakia want an expansion of the U-N mandate in
the former Yugoslavia. Stefan Bos reports the ministers of the
four countries, known as the Visegrad Group, discussed the
Bosnlan crisis during a two-day conference in Budapest.
Text: The defense ministers of Hungary, Poland, the Czech
Republic, and Slovakia say a withdrawal of U-N peacekeepers from
the former Yugoslavia would lead to more bloodshed in Bosnia.
Except for Hungary, all Visegrad countries have U-N peacekeepers
and obesrvers in the region.
The ministers told reporters they do not want to pull out or
increase the number of their soldiers in Bosnia or Croatia.
Hungarian minister of defense Gyorgy Keleti said Hungary hopes
the Visegrad countries will contnue to cooperate in peacekeeping
missions.
Poland's minister of defense, Zbigniew Okonski, said,
unfortunately, the United Nations is not equipped to send a
total of about 500-thousand troops through the region for
peacekeeping assignments over the next 20 years.
Speaking through a translator, Mr. Okonski also said his country
and the United Nations must not pull out from the former
Yugoslavia despite the actions of Bosnian Serbs against U-N
peacekeepers.
///Okonski translator act///
The removal of our troops would actually not improve
the situation, because the parties, the opposing sides,
would just bleed each other and that will also last for
at least 20 years.
///End act///
Mr. Okonski also said the enlargement of NATO is a way to secure
peace in Europe.
He says Russia must not be isolated, but Poland does not want
to depend on Russian weapons and technology as it did during the
Warsaw pact era.
Mr. Okonski stressed that he is optimistic that Poland, Hungary,
the Czech Republic, and Slovakia will shake hands as new NATO
members within the next two years. (Signed)
