The branch of the political party Lëvizja Vetëvendosje in Mitrovica, has lynched journalists and media, starting from the local portal “Jepi Zë”.

The accusations of the governing party that this portal is working for another political party are unacceptable.

The call for boycott of the local portal and the language used towards some journalists is lynching that seriously endangers their safety.

The Association of Journalists of Kosovo – AJK, calls upon this political party to distance itself from the denigrating language towards journalists and media, used by its branch in Mitrovica.
