Syri.net’s car is vandalized in Leposaviq Some Serbian protesters in Leposaviq punctured the tires of the Syri.net team’s car.

The situation, which is escalating moment by moment, is endangering the media workers who are reporting from the north.

This is the fourth attack during the day, in the direction of the media teams, who are reporting on the situation in the north of the country.

AJK expresses concern about the working conditions of journalists who are reporting from that area. At the same time, it calls on journalists, camera operators, photojournalists, and team drivers to show increased precaution during reporting.
