The Association of Journalists of Kosovo is deeply concerned about recent statements made by Minister of Justice, Albulena Haxhiu, regarding the proposal to submit the news related to accusations against two media outlets (Nacionale and Periskopi) to the Prosecutor’s Office.
After being done with her interrogation at the Prosecutor’s Office, Mrs. Haxhiu stated, “I provided information to the Prosecutor’s Office regarding a news report on RTK that mentions Nacionale and Periskopi. This report, published on RTK by Slobodna Bosna, is from a credible source. I have personally witnessed this news report and have have shared these information to the prosecution.”
It is deeply concerning that Mrs. Haxhiu has made such a scandalous statement that attacks both the media and interferes with the justice system.
AJK urges Mrs. Haxhiu to refrain from making such statements and calls upon her party to immediately stop their dangerous campaign of accusations against journalists.
