(9 years ago)The country's prime minister faced a refusal by Kosovo journalists to participate in an informal meeting with them, as he made an insult to reporters a week ago by countering English-language knowledge and schooling. But yet, not a formal meeting happened tonight in the environments of the Government of Kosovo, [...]
But however, the non-formal meeting took place tonight in the Kosovo Government environments, of Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj's Office, respectively.
According to photographs published by the prime minister's office, however, journalism has had an abundant audience of journalists at this meeting.
And this meeting appears to have been filled with traditional food, such as kebabs and mantias, along with other foods.
“This is also a small gesture of thanks to the work you do and an apology for my vocabulary of days earlier”, Haradinaj said as he addressed reporters present.
Then he showed that he is under great pressure.
“I am under great stress, the situation in the country is not good, it is difficult”, the prime minister has said.
He has mentioned the state of health and other areas, but in emphasis he has had energy.
Five days ago, however, the prime minister's office insisted Haradinaj has not offended reporters.
This was done hours after Prime Minister Ramush Haraidna did this at a media conference together with Infrastructure Minister, Pal Lekaj, said most journalists do not even know how to read English and that they are illiterate, the clarification from the Office for Communication with the Public at the Office of the Prime Minister has also come.
I have a lot of respect for the media, believe me, but most of you, you don't even know how to read English, and you don't even know what they said. The problem is yours. I have a comment.
And the Public Communication Office insists Haradinaj is right.
“This afternoon we received a letter from the AGK, which an appeal by Prime Minister Haradinaj for some journalists to be more professional and educated, has considered an insult to journalists and the media. Haradinaj has only sought professionalism and ethics from some journalists and nothing more. We regret whether someone, from ignorance or deliberately, has made inaccurate qualities of this nature”, was said in the response of the Office for Communication with the Public.
Then this office has boasted about “transparency” of Haradinaj Government.
“Prime Minister Hardinaj and his cabinet have started the job by being more open than any previous government against media and journalists, and thus will be until the end of the mandate. Our transparency should be sufficient for specific journalists and media to also be correct and professional in relation to Prime Minister Haradinaj and his Government”, the report said.
But the informal meeting with journalists held five days later resulted in an apology but that was rejected by all journalists. /
