This morning, the ATV team’s vehicle was targeted in an attack by Serbian protesters.

In the photos sent to the Association of Journalists of Kosovo – AJK, it can be seen that the vehicle’s tires were intentionally punctured to hinder reporting.

The situation faced by journalists is extremely concerning and is worsening each time as they continue to be targeted by local Serb protesters.

Association of Journalists of Kosovo calls on all fellow journalists, camera operators, photojournalists, and their team drivers to be extra precaution during reporting and, if necessary, seek assistance from the officials of the Kosovo Police who are present there.
