Alexander Velev, Director-General of the BNR stated yesterday that to raise their salaries and keep the BNR’s orchestras running, the national radio’s budget will have to be corrected. The problem will be discussed at an extraordinary meeting of the National Assembly’s Committee on Culture and the Media on Thursday.
