Representatives of public broadcasting and other organizations of the kind from 12 countries, including 5 popular radio stations in Europe have attended. Due to its excellent collaboration with RAI and Vatican Radio, the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Company has been the only public radio station invited from the South- East of Europe, from a country with a majority of Orthodox people.

Ovidiu Miculescu, President and General Manager of SRR attended Pope Francis’ audience as the representative of the public radio station in Romania. According to the President of SRR: ‘These things happen once in a lifetime. It was an extremely moving moment. I had a brief talk with His Holiness in which I pointed out our partnership and our collaboration with RAI and Vatican Radio and at the same time I told him that it would bring us great honor if one of our orchestras dedicated a classical or sacred music concert to him. He was delighted and beyond words I saw in The Sovereign Pontiff’s look and handshake a sign of warmth and friendship, both for the radio and for Romania.’
