The Klan Kosova team, consisting of Qëndresa Bellagoshi, Gentiana Gashi, and Labeat Krasniqi, faced verbal abuse throughout the day at several polling stations, primarily targeting the television station, from citizens/voters. After the polling stations closed, as the team approached the offices of “Vetëvendosje” in Pejë, they were met with chants from a crowd celebrating in front of the office, mostly shouting “Klan Serbia.”

During the filming, a young man approached and physically pushed journalist Gentiana Gashi. In Pejë, while conducting a live broadcast, a person in a vehicle displaying the image of the leader of “Vetëvendosje,” Albin Kurti, drove toward journalist Qëndresa Bellagoshi and cameraman Labeat Krasniqi on the sidewalk where the broadcast was taking place. The vehicle was stopped by the police, who were present at the scene.
