President Osmani's call for media investigations is a dangerous precedent
The Association of Kosovo Journalists (AJK) views President Vjosa Osmani's recent call for investigations into media outlets, particularly Nacionale and its head Berat Buzhala, as a dangerous and unacceptable precedent.
In a public post today on Facebook, the President explicitly urged security and justice authorities to investigate the aforementioned media outlet following their coverage of a recent incident in Ferizaj. Repeated accusations that the media is working for Serbia are not only baseless but also concerning, especially when coming from a high-ranking government official.
AJK urges President Osmani to address any concerns about media reporting by filing a complaint with the Press Council of Kosovo. The media must follow the Code of Ethics, especially when reporting on tragic events, by providing facts and evidence about the situation.
