Association of Journalists of Kosovo is deeply concerned about the news of an attack on journalist Ulpiana Emra from ArtMotion during the Super Cup final basketball match between Trepça and Peja.

Emra was attacked by fans while reporting on the final of the basketball Super Cup between Trepca and Peja.

It has been reported that the journalist was assaulted by fans in the stands, who threw bottles at her, resulting in injuries to her body.

The AJK firmly condemns this assault on our colleague Emra and calls on the Kosovo Police to immediately find the perpetrator(s) of the crime, bring them to justice, and hold them accountable for their acts.
