Journalist Eni Vasili has been the target of a defamatory article published by the online portal Pamfleti, which labels her as a “mediocre journalist” and suggests that her professional success is dependent on the support of influential men, rather than her abilities. This attack follows Ms. Vasili’s application for the role of the General Director of the Albanian Radio and Television (RTSH) in response to an open call for candidates.

Eni Vasili, a journalist with many years of experience in Albania’s media sector, deserves to be assessed based on her professional achievements, not her personal life. The personal nature of the attacks against her is not only an infringement on her basic human dignity but also a direct assault on press freedom and the safety of journalists.
