Croatian Radio and Television (HRT) has started a 24-hour satellite TV programme for Croats living in Europe, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. About 2.5m Croatian expatriates will be able to watch eight hours of domestically produced programming, which will be repeated twice daily.
The project was launched in cooperation with the Croatian government and the Croatian Emigration Institute. Addressing Croatian audiences worldwide, Prime Minister Ivica Racan said that the project was designed to inform Croats living abroad about events in their homeland.
