vacuum, overcome stereotypes in people's mentalities and are very
important in the view of psychological rehabilitation of society that
suffered conflict", Kuk said.

broadcast audio-journals, and the materials will be translated in
several languages, so they could be understood outside the region as
well.

BBC in the beginning of 90s. It is sincere stories of people recorded
without journalists. The length of one journal makes 3-5 minutes.
