The Association of Journalists of Kosovo (AGK) opposes the language used by the Chief of Cabinet of the Minister of Education, Science and Technology, Baton Dushi, who has insulted journalist Edona Kutleshi regarding the publication of article “Chief of Cabinet of Minister Bytyqi has coffee business with MEST”, published on 06.11.2018, in the newspaper “Koha Ditore”. Dushi through a post on the social network Facebook has used offensive words towards journalist Kutleshi calling it “a monster” and “not professional”. “I’m sorry to have become the prey of such a monster! Worse, we have such a non-professional journalist. Instead of being really investigative, unfortunately she became a media sludge!”, Dushi wrote.
