M.W. - I moved to Slovakia in December 2007

I moved to Slovakia in December 2007 with my Slovak wife to start a family and thought that the Slovakia was quite progressive in its development and outlook, until I heard about this decision, which is anything but forwarding looking. I find that the decision to cancel English language programs on RTI as a decision that is utterly ridiculous and shows a lack of foresight and vision and would contribute to the isolation of the Slovak Republic immensurable.
The English language is the greatest contribution made to the development of the world since the fall of the Roman Empire, mainly because it enables people from all over the world to communicate in one language and for them to understand each other. This language is not only spoken by the people of the British Isles, but is also spoken by the most powerful nation on earth, the U.S.A. and is the second language of choice of most nations including the Scandinavians, Africans, Asians and oriental nations.
The English language is also the language of business and is used by all people when they are gathered together from different nations to conduct business.
Having programs broadcast in English enables the Slovak people to broadcast their ideas and opinions outside it's own borders and gives people a better idea of what the Slovak nation is about, because believe it or not, the only people that understand Slovak are the Slovaks and the Czechs, whereas the number of nations that understand the English language, numbers hundreds and many hundreds of millions of people, if not billions.
Broadcasts of programs in the English language also enables those that are learning the language in Slovakia to hear the language from another source other than from their teachers and will enable them to develop their English language skills further.
Kindly do the best thing for your country and your people and re-new the license for RTI to broadcast programs in English.
Kind regards
