The Association of Journalists of Kosovo strongly condemns the unacceptable behavior of the close protection team of Prime Minister Albin Kurti towards journalist Blerta Dalloshi Berisha from TV Klan.

In the video published by Dalloshi-Berisha, a member of the protection team, can be seen grabbing and pushing the journalist as she attempts to ask a question to the prime minister.

Such mistreatment of journalists is completely unacceptable and only adds to the growing sense of insecurity within Kosovo’s media community.

AJK calls upon the Kosovo Police to investigate the behavior of the individual mentioned. Furthermore, we ask Prime Minister Kurti to denounce this behavior, disassociate himself from it, and enable journalists to ask questions that are in the interest of the public.
