Attack against media and AJK, Prishtinë, 23.07.2024

Translations: Pristina 

This morning, Dejona Mihali, an official of Vetëvendosje, once again targeted journalists, the media, and the AJK in a series of ongoing attacks by the ruling party.

Mihali has called for an investigation into the media in Kosovo following claims made by a Bosnian newspaper, which she has described as “an investigative newspaper and not a regime mouthpiece.”

Furthermore, Mihali has urged AJK to request investigations, stating that “the Association of Journalists would demonstrate professionalism if it would recommend investigations into the claims made by fellow Bosnian journalists. This is especially important if Vucic and his criminal network are involved in Kosovo.”

For AJK, Mihali’s recent actions are part of a pattern of coordinated attacks by the Vetëvendosje government against the media and journalists in Kosovo. The demand for investigations based on an article lacking authorship, facts, or evidence is unacceptable and serves to intimidate journalists in Kosovo.
