The musicians said they had experienced a "warmer than expected" reception from British concert-goers, according to the Russian news agency Itar-Tass. The Tomsk Academy Symphony Orchestra said they had to drum up extra cash to meet their living expenses on the tour. They spoke of crowded accommodation and 16-hour road journeys to their venues. 3/5 Headlines 101 Extra 140 Ticker 151 News Index 102 Flash 150 Newsreel 152 Politics News Indx News Xtra Main Menu

President Schuster was reported as saying at a lecture in Berlin that Romanies seeking asylum in the West were largely economic migrants. Mr Lacko accused the President of making ill-considered statements. But government commissioner Vincent Danihel, himself a Romany, said he thought the media may have misreported what Mr Schuster actually said. 4/5 Headlines 101 Extra 140 Ticker 151 News Index 102 Flash 150 Newsreel 152 Politics News Indx News Xtra Main Menu
