Klan Kosova and RTV Dukagjini team, who went to the scene to report live about the armed robbery on the Prishtina-Gjilan district were obstructed and fined by the Kosovo Police.

Journalist Flamur Gajtani, cameraman Arben Kajtazi, and the driver Gazmend Salihu from Klan Kosova and journalist Mehmet Krasniqi and the cameraman Visar Kryeziu from RTV Dukagjini were stopped and then fined when they tried to go through an alternative route to reach the scene. The road was allowed to be used by other citizens, but not by these TV crews.

AJK condemns the obstruction of these teams, and calls upon the Kosovo Police to help journalists, and not obstruct their work.
