“EO” cameraman: It's our job to insist on shooting the story, not getting state orders.

Agency cameraman Online Economics Albion Selitaj, who was arrested violently during the operation by Kosovo's Special Police Unit, has talked about the event following his release from arrest.

He said how the cameraman is right to exercise his duty and that the Special Unit has behaved extremely rude.

I'm right to exercise my duty as a cameraman, it's not my duty to be afraid of the police, the purpose was to convey the story. For the Special Unit, the purpose of being able to get us media out. My resistance was to let us do our job, and I set the story straight with the police, I come with nothing more they insisted on getting out. In that insistence they reacted too fast and considered it to be obstructing police work, but treatment could have been”, he said.

Celitaj said that at the police station in Suhareka, police have had correct conduct.

The arrest has been very rapid, but police in Suhareka have been very correct and have treated me well at this city's station. We, as journalists and cameramen, are in charge of shooting the story, not taking the state commands”, he said.
