Any government attempt to control the media is unacceptable attempts to interfere with their work. This is a serious threat to current power against the media”, the thuhs in the reaction of these two organisations.
Otherwise, Vetevendosje MP Victory Pacolli, through a scandalous speech in the Assembly, has called on Parliament and Government to take measures against the media in Kosovo.
The following may be the most brutal calls we've heard, and you read so far, like blows to democracy, respectively, media independence.

So here we seek the attention of the Parliament and Government to take measures, and to understand more about what's going on with the functioning of the media, with the transparency and identification of media ownership”, Pacolli said. /Periscopi/
