The Association of Journalists of Kosovo (AJK) has been informed of two threats that the online media outlet Mitropol from Mitrovica has received in the last 24 hours.

The first threat is related to a report from Vushtrri about the establishment of a mini-amusement park in the square, while the second threat was accompanied by a video claiming that “Wagner is in Kosovo.”

To AJK, these threats are deeply concerning and unacceptable. We urge the Kosovo Police to thoroughly investigate these incidents and collaborate with the media to bring those responsible to justice.

Journalists in Kosovo should be able to carry out their work in the interest of the public without fear of intimidation or threats.
