During their reporting in Zveçan the RTV Dukagjini team’s vehicle has been damaged. Fortunately, there are no reported injuries, but this is the second vehicle of this media outlet that has been vandalized by local protesters.

In the ongoing events in the northern municipalities of Kosovo, this is the 16th attack on the media within two days.

Association of Journalists of Kosovo expresses deep concern and specifically requests the international presence to create a safer environment for journalists, camera operators, photojournalists, and drivers who are on duty and reporting from the northern part of the country.
