Attack against media in Zveçan, 30.05.2023
The vehicle of the KOHA team that reported from Zveçan yesterday was found completely vandalized this morning.
In the photos and video published by the media outlet, broken windows, punctured tires, nationalist symbols marked on the vehicle, and missing side mirrors can be seen.
Similarly, the T7 media vehicle was found in the same condition, covered with Serbian nationalist symbols, with broken windows and punctured tires.
The Association of Journalists of Kosovo is deeply concerned by the images provided by these two media outlets, and we urge all colleagues to exercise extra precaution during reporting.
