The Democratic League of Kosovo and The Democratic Party of Kosovo used lynching vocabulary towards RTV Dukagjini. Such lynching vocabulary is unacceptable for AJK, as it is considered pressure towards our journalist colleagues. Due to the accusations of the media that they are in favor of a certain political subject, they target media toward threats. In case of complaints, the AJK calls upon all political subjects to direct them to the competent bodies.
AJK considers that this kind of pressure directly affects the editorial policies, as it is a direct form of public pressure. AJK considers this subjective approach of the political subjects toward media, a threat to freedom of speech.
