History
[edit]The first issue was published on 11 November 1995 from the initiative of Casimir (Kazimierz) Lawrynowicz with the aid of the Polish Consulate in Kaliningrad. Initially the publication was edited in Elblag by "Kurier Elbląski" with financial support from the local branch of the Polish Catholic-Social Union. Between 1997-1998 Głos znad Pregoły was published by the "Informacyjny Kurier Tygodniowy" from Braniewo, and finally in the summer of 1998, the editorial board was moved to Kaliningrad.
