The Association of Journalists of Kosovo is concerned about the public pressure applied by Vetvendosje MPs against RTK journalist Edona Podvorica, who, along with the majority of her media colleagues boycotted the news conference of Minister Rozeta Hajdari.
MP Valon Ramadani stated on Facebook that “it appears that this institution avoided the legal obligation by not remaining at Minister Rozeta Hajdari’s conference.” In the same line, Vetvendosje’s other MP, Enver Dugolli, has written, as have other members of the ruling party, calling for the journalist’s dismissal.
