The Association of Journalists of Kosovo has accepted a request from the Football Federation of Kosovo, which expresses displeasure about the discussions occurring in sports broadcasts regarding this institution and the Kosovo National Team. In the letter, FFK unfoundedly accuses some sports shows of running a “media campaign against the FFK.”

AJK considers this open letter from the FFK unacceptable and sees it as an attempt to pressure journalists and media in Kosovo.

Freedom of expression and freedom of the media are guaranteed by the Constitution of Kosovo, and it is the duty of journalists and the media to hold the FFK accountable for its decisions and actions.
