Kosovo's Afarism Oda has reiterated its request made to the Government, so that the media can be included in the Government's scheme of additional wages, as envisioned at point 6. This is done on the basis of the discussion that OAK has done with member media, which have shown great concern as a result of the created situation and the risk they are facing, with the aim of quick and accurate information of citizens.

OAK through a communique says the work of the media on the ground poses not only direct risks to their work, but also they are jeopardising their families from a potential infection.

“OAK estimates that the Government should treat all equal citizens at this difficult time that we are all facing. The OAK is also seeking from the media, as they are reporting on regular bases pok «all developments and are supporting institutions and businesses, to also report on their poor state at this time”, the communiqué says.
