Agim Ademi – a journalist of the KOHA Group reported today at AJK a series of public insulting after an article he wrote about the expenses of the mayor of Shtime, Qemajl Aliu.

Ademi has been called as the “servant of the Klan Pronto”, by the senior official of the Vetëvendosje Movement in Shtime, Halil Kurtishi.

AJK considers such language unacceptable and that directly endangers the safety of journalist Ademi.

AJK invites Mayor Aliu to distance himself from the pressures that are being put on the journalist after his reports, which are based on documents provided by the request for access to public documents.
