In a media clarification, the Kosovo Assembly has said that even at any other session, journalists stay in the lobby of the Parliament, and in spaces dedicated to them, behind the plenary assembly hall. Meanwhile, cameramen and photoreporters are in the hall where sessions are held.
In any other area of the Parliament, any office -- in this case even the Speaker of the Assembly Office -- is not allowed access when there is no official invitation sent to the media or a scheduled meeting with the cabinet. So, in such a circumstance, the media cannot access other offices without prior invitation or permission, it says in clarification.
The Kosovo Assembly has also added a report by Kosovo Police concerning today's case in question.
