In Zveçan, the ATV team, consisting of journalist Fatlum Jashari, camera operator Blend Thaçi, and driver Enis Sherifi, was attacked with stones while covering the latest developments in the municipality.

According to the media, several masked individuals targeted the moving vehicle, resulting in minor injuries to journalist Fatlum Jashari and camera operator Blend Thaçi, as well as the shattering of the car’s windows.

The Association of Journalists of Kosovo continues to be concerned about media teams reporting from the northern part of the country, and therefore, we urge the Kosovo Police and the international presence there to create better conditions for them.
