Other threats towards media outlets and organizations, Kossev, Mitrovicë e Veriut, 01.10.2025
The Association of Journalists of Kosovo (AJK) condemns the behavior of Radoica Radomirović, a candidate for the Municipal Assembly of Leposavić, toward the editorial team of the “Kossev” portal based in North Mitrovica, Kosovo.
Radomirović, a former Deputy Minister in the Government of Kosovo who is currently running on the “Novo Lice – Narodna Prava” electoral list, reportedly exerted pressure on a Kossev journalist following questions posed at a press conference.
He demanded explanations for the journalist’s questions and even suggested what questions should be asked. After the editorial team expressed their dissatisfaction, Radomirović sent a message to Kossev’s editor-in-chief, Tatjana Lazarević, accusing the portal of being “a branch of the criminal organization SL (Serb List).”
The Association of Journalists of Kosovo strongly condemns Radomirović’s conduct, which constitutes direct intimidation of professional journalism.
The AJK calls on Radomirović to apologize and urges all politicians to act responsibly toward the media and journalists, especially during this sensitive election campaign period.
