The Association of Journalists of Kosovo expresses its concern regarding the accusations made by journalist Behare Bajraktari of Radio Kosovo regarding her working conditions.

In her complaint, Bajraktari stated that her personal and work belongings were taken from her office this week, shortly after her radio show was cut off.

The radio station’s management stated that they immediately notified the journalist about the relocation. Furthermore, they said that the show’s content has been modified according to the new program schedule and was not cut off.

The Association of Journalists of Kosovo invites the Radio Management to handle the situation following the internal regulations of RTK, while also acknowledging the valuable work and contribution of journalist Bajraktari to the Public Broadcaster over the past two decades.
