Ana Marija Ivković, editor of the Alternativa portal, reported harassment by an unknown man on the promenade in North Mitrovica. An unknown man spoke to her in English, asked her nationality and asked her to show her personal documents. After that, he continued to follow her, and only moved away when the journalist raised her mobile phone to take a photo of him.

The Kosovo police, to whom the crime was reported, found that there was no element for criminal prosecution.
