The editors of the Nacionale portal have informed about the threat made to journalist Eriola Cacaj, who was reporting on the tender for cleaning vehicles for the municipality of Podujeva.

In a phone call, the owner of the Prizren-based company that won the tender can be heard insulting and threatening the journalist who was investigating the company.

AJK considers the language used as unacceptable and calls on all parties to refrain from making threats against journalists so that they can perform their job without hindrance.
