PRE S E N T A T I O N O F R T V SLOVENIA
RTV Slovenia is a public, non-profit radio-television
organisation performing radio, television and other
activities in order to satisfy legally stipulated social
needs.
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.

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

ADDRESS O F T H E D I R E C T O R GENERAL OF RTV SLOVENIA
The business and programme year 2003 is characterized in that it was marked by the implementation
of recovery measures. 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.

Director General of RTV Slovenia

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.

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!

PROGRAMM E U N I T T E L E V I S I O N SLOVENIA
In the circumstances unfavourable for the creativity
and ambitious programme projects we carried
out a number of important programme projects
mentioned in the following chapters. 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.

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

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

The year 2003 was the first year when we emitted

television every day (in 24 hours). Each inhabitant of Slovenia watched television approximately 255 minutes a
day last year. The 1st programme was watched by one fourth of all the spectators, the 2nd programme was

PROGRAMM E U N I T R A D I O S L OVENIA
In the jubilee year when Radio Slovenia (earlier Radio
Ljubljana) celebrated 75 years of existence, we prepared
an adequate offer of topical radio contents and thus
additionally contributed to the establishment of the
national media that strives to keep its image and goal
of national media despite stiff competition of almost
90 radio stations in Slovenia. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Studio of Hungarian Programmes Lendava,
the task and mission of which is preparation of TV
broadcasts in the Hungarian language, operated
in 2003 on the basis of the adopted ProgrammeBusiness Plan and in compliance with the role
imposed on minority electronic media in the field of
bringing news to national communities. 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.

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.

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.

The funds for the overhaul of supporting infrastructure
were invested in the towers at Šance and in Kranjska
Gora, some finance was also intended for the
payment of the land at Kuželj and Murska Sobota and
for the cleaning device at the transmitters centre Kum.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

FINANCIA L R E P O R T
The year 2003 was a beginning of big changes for
RTV Slovenia, especially from the point of view of
rationalisation of business operations. 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.
