The Association of Journalists of Kosovo has been informed by the journalist, Bujar Vitija, about a series of insults, lynchings, and threats that have been made towards him in recent days, after a series of articles about suspicions of corruption in the Public Hospital of Vushtrri.

AJK condemns the language used against the journalist Vitija and considers that it hinders his and other journalists’ work as well. All competent authorities must do their work to clarify the raised accusations.
