Vogelfreies Radio from Germany wrote me (December 2006) comments of former Yogoslavian broadcasting:  As far as balkan pirates are concerned I know of a film documentary called  "We want our voices to be heard" from the year  1970 about illegal radios in Yougoslavia. It was produced by Zagreb Film, the author is Krsto Papic.  Obviously there were plenty of pirates in the Tito age, quite similar to the situation as it is still in Holland. I hadn't seen that  film myself but I have a description out of a documentary movie directory I can quote from.  The 15 minute film shows several pirates from the rural mountain areas of Croatia and in the Drau river valley where the radio  stations were operating with very simple equipment but got very popular among their local audiences.  Authorities were hunting the pirates and there were severe punishments but as soon as a station was gone a new one  appeared. 5 stations were shown in the documentary, Radio Cerje, Radio Stanica, Radio Ladanje, Radio Stef and  Radio Podravini. Programmes not only contained music but also some political views and even a language lesson for  workers who intended to emigrate to western Europe.
