Ambassador Costet for threats against journalists: You are attacking democracy.

A free and visual press, one informing the public, empowers the different voices, and holds public officials accountable is an essential component in any harmful democracy. Journalists deserve our respect and protection. Threats and attacks on them are attacks on democracy itself.

The Periscopi newspaper has also been under numerous attacks by orchestrated political and different groups over the past months and years.

Meanwhile, recently physical assault has taken place by journalists Wisper Duriqi from Inseder and Valon Syla from Metro until verbal attacks continue to be continuous and daily, even by political exhibits of the ruling parties and opposition. /Periscope
