A vehicle belonging to the media outlet Top Channel was vandalized today by protesters in Zvecan.

The vehicle, in which four journalists from different media outlets were traveling, was vandalized with nationalist slogans and with the intention of rendering it inoperable.

The Association of Journalists of Kosovo is expressing concern over the developments in these municipalities and is urging fellow journalists, camera operators, and photojournalists to exercise extra precaution during reporting and to respect the instructions of Kosovo Police officials regarding the reporting perimeter.

AJK, once again, calls on the international presence in Kosovo, NATO Kosovo Force – KFOR, and EULEX Kosovo, to enable safe and unhindered media reporting.
