Tent 216 thousand euros from RTK ) Teuta Krasniqi denies winning it with the help of politics

After publishing the news, Krasniqi was named a weak actress, while it was said her series does not deserve to be financed by citizens' taxes. Moreover, it was stressed that the tender was won due to ties with politics precisely because it has Brother Memli Krasniqi of PDK. Krasniqi has dismissed all of this in a conversation for the Express Journal.

Actress Teuta Krasniqi has won the 216 thousand-euro tender from public television for broadcasting the iStar series, the product of its production.

For receiving this tender from the actress, there have been many reactions that such a large sum was won due to the family link Krasniqi has with politics, respectively, where her brother Memli Krasniqi is deputy chairman and head of the Parliamentary Group.

Teuta Krasniqi calls all these comparisons low because, according to her, she has a wild and long career, without anyone's help.

I didn't become an actress yesterday, nor did I become a producer yesterday. I've been filling 20 years since I started my career at RTK”, Krasniqi has been expressing himself for Gazeta Express.

Its production will prepare 24 episodes for Public Television. For each episode, it is paid 9 thousand euros, and that amount is considered very high. They have reacted from civil society, but also the independent RTK union.

The actress says that many have been the least possible compared to commitments that, according to her, have production.

This is the smallest possible amount. About 80 people are engaged in the series, over 13 professional actors. An episode takes us three days to shoot. In RTK we send the product to the finalised”, Krasniqi said.

Numerous reactions have also gone to RTK's address on the quality of the series that Teuta Krasniqi's production has won.

The Kusari butterfly, a media rights lawyer, has written on Facebook that this series does not deserve tax pay.

“After the CRCPP and the media Teuta Krasniqi, an extremely weak actress for me and PDK MP Memli Krasniqi's sister, has won tenders from RTK for the production and show of the Star series worth 216 thousand euros. Even the one with negotiated procedure without the publication of the contract report” wrote Kusari.

These Krasniqi have called the series very quality, and this assessment has been taken from people in the field of art.

For receiving the actress's production tender, the RTK Union has stated that politics is jeopardising the functionality of public television through incuigation
“RTK is not protected with empty rhetoric as some of the Kosovo Assembly deputies are doing, but with concrete actions advancing the status of the public broadcaster.

Through their family's involvement in audiovisi projects financed by RTK's budget, policymakers are seriously endangering RTK's functionality”, the union's response sent to the media.
