The mechanism of generation of radio emission of pulsars due to the motion of charged relativistic particles along curved magnetic field lines is considered. The reabsorption of electromagnetic waves by a stream of charged relativistic particles moving along a curved trajectory is calculated and investigated in the kinetic approximation. The conditions under which maser amplification of waves in neutron star magnetospheres is possible are found.
