KOHA’s team was attacked today in Zveçan.

The team was attacked with stones by masked persons, but fortunately, no one was injured.

The Association of Journalists of Kosovo is expressing deep concern about the aggravated security situation in four municipalities in the north, where dozens of journalists, camera operators, photojournalists, and other media workers are reporting.

AJK calls on law enforcement agencies, the Kosovo Police, and the international presence in Kosovo to facilitate safe and unhindered reporting for media teams.

AJK also urges journalists and newsrooms to exercise extra precautions in this difficult situation.
