Journalist Ardiana Thaci Mehmeti has been part of a lynching campaign by the head of Kosovo’s Air Navigation Services Agency, Bahri Nuredini. The latter decided not to provide any answers from the journalist since October 2, 2017. In a letter sent by Nuredini to media, he calls on all Kosovo citizens not to believe Thaci-Mehmeti’s reporting. He said the journalist created panic among passangers and has personal aims to attack the agency because of her personal and the intereste of a group.
