    What was journalists' association reaction [:ks]The Association of Journalists of Kosovo is concerned over death threats against our colleague Leonard Kerquki after he published his documentary. It's intolerable to have hundreds of comments where murder is asked against Kerquki and his team. The association also condemns the start of a campaign in social media where Kerquki's face is portrayed with three bullets in forehead. AJK calls on documentary authors to report all those threats to Kosovo police. AJK ensures that it will follow continuously the acts of security institutions. [:]
