The team consisting of Agon Bejtullahu and Altiana Zogaj, who reported from the Mitrovica area and northern municipalities, faced resistance from an official at the polling center in Mitrovica, specifically at the “Frang Bardhi” high school. The other incident occurred at the headquarters of Vetëvendosje in Mitrovica, where the team encountered insults, offensive language, and various forms of verbal abuse, such as: “Klan Serbia,” “workers of Serbia,” “Is Vučić paying you?” escalating to moral aspects. This made it more difficult for the team to carry out their work.
