Zaitoun Caravan Radio (Serbian: Каравански Радио Заитун)[1] is a community‑based FM radio station operating in the city of Niš, Serbia.[1] Established in April 2000, it is a mobile “radio‑in‑a‑box” initiative designed for communities in crisis zones where electricity and telecommunications infrastructure have been disrupted. The station was created to serve refugees and displaced families affected by conflict, providing accessible information and a sense of connection during periods of instability.[2]
Broadcasting from a caravan that travels between schools, temporary shelters, and rural villages, Zaitoun Caravan Radio delivers medical guidance, educational content, and humanitarian updates.[2] The name Zaitoun refers to olive trees, symbolizing resilience and peace. The station airs on FM 98.2 MHz.
