    Association of Journalists of Kosovo is concerned on a Facebook post by general director of Radiotelevision of Kosovo, Mentor Shala attacking the Independent Union of RTK.

    AJK considers that the used language by Shala present an offence and threat against the employees of public broadcaster, including our members that work in this media.

    AJK was informed by employees of public media that Shala’s reaction comes after separate meetings of Union leaders with Kosovo Parliament Speaker, Kadri Veseli and meetings with all other parliamentary groups related to the ongoing draft law on RTK as well as on general situation of public broadcaster.
