In his letter of congratulations, the President wrote that those who had not lived under communism could not understand the significance of the RFE/RL, but that this station, as well as the other ''voices'', has a role to fulfil in the postcommunist countries also today. The President recalled that ten years ago, he had nominated this influential radio station as a candidate of Nobel Prize of Peace.
