Threats against journalist Korab Rexhepi, Prishtinë, 12.02.2024
Korab Rexhepi, a DTV journalist, received several threatening messages from a guy with the initials M.B.
Rexhepi told the Association of Journalists of Kosovo that these threats were made after M.B.'s direct phone contact was cut short due to some banal expressions he made on the journalist's show.
One of M.B.'s threatening messages states that the journalist "will disappear with his whole family."
The Association of Journalists of Kosovo considers these threats to be unacceptable and calls upon Kosovo Police to take appropriate action to ensure that M.B. is held accountable by the relevant authorities.
Furthermore, we call upon our colleagues to report any threats or attacks they may encounter to both the AJK and the Kosovo Police.
