An article by “Slobodna Bosna,” shared by Self-Determination MPs, accuses Serbian President Vučić of influencing media in Kosovo, alleging control over Periskopi and a multi-million transaction with Nacionale to criticize Albin Kurti’s government. The Kosovo Journalists’ Association has repeatedly appealed to Prime Minister Albin Kurti and his ruling Self-Determination Movement to stop “unacceptable campaigns” aimed at “intimidating journalists.” The association condemned the MPs’ actions, calling them dangerous and urging accountability. They highlighted the risk such campaigns pose to journalists’ safety and noted past appeals to stop targeting the media. The association also pointed out that the article lacked the necessary elements of journalistic investigative reporting and was written in a propagandist tone. This latest incident is part of a broader pattern of accusations against Kosovo media by circles close to Self-Determination. Read more here.
