A television crew from Klan Kosova, consisting of journalist Gremisa Latifi, camera operator Arbnor Ibriqi, and driver Gazmend Salihu, was physically obstructed by an individual during a live report from the village of Strellc, in the municipality of Deçan.

The individual exited a vehicle and verbally abused the crew, demanding that they stop filming.

The Association of Journalists of Kosovo (AJK) condemns this threat and calls on the Kosovo Police to initiate efforts to identify the individual in question. Journalists must be allowed to carry out their work without obstruction, in the public interest of providing information.
