I believe the answer is:

dubcek

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'his neighbour on the radio' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'slovak statesman to name' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'name' could be 'dub' (as in dubbing someone with a particular name) and 'dub' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
