According to Romanian Law No. 41/1994, republished, the SRR produces and broadcasts programs in the Romanian language and other languages for a worldwide audience to promote the image of Romania and its internal and external politics. As a result, inside the SRR is Departamentul Radio România Internațional (Department Radio Romania International), which owns two radio stations.
