Journalists' attacks in the country's north have been unstoppable since the beginning of tensions on May 26th of this year.
Pleats Salihu is one of journalists attacked yesterday in northern Kosovo, who has shown details of how the attack on him and colleagues on Leposavic took place.
He said they originally wrote in the northern part and police station because they made a report from there.
When we went to Leposavic, we kept quiet, without provocations, without turning our heads to the right or to the left, even though they were the insults, the insults we've been experiencing, and we've gone to where it is and the object of the municipality. We're stationed there, there's been another media team. He indicated that the moment they settled in one of the tents that has been set up to avoid getting wet from the rain of protesters and to protect themselves from high temperatures. The former head of Leposavici has given orders to three Serbian citizens to take us out of the tent and get us in the rain. We're out, we've been in the rain,” Salihu said Euronews.
According to journalist at the moment that Elbert Krasniqi has stepped out of the municipality's door has been heard as the first kick-babe towards the minister and journalists. He showed that the cameraman nearby had problems listening.
The moment he crossed the gate, the former head of Leposavici has given orders, attack the minister's vehicle with everything,” Salihu said.
Of these incidents, journalism has remained with the broken arm, as it reacted to the social network “Facebook” he said that “if it wasn't for the Kosovo Special Unit, we today would be dead”.
This wound was caused by criminalised Serbs at the order of the former Leposaviqi leader and former Serbian deputate in the Kosovo Assembly, Slavko Simic, in effect (the media-based government) and the approval of Hungarian KFOR. If it wasn't for the Kosovo Special Unit, we today would be dead -- thank God one and one Special Unit -- the government and the minister for me are not to blame, but I am looking for Prime Minister Albin Kurti to stop giving us KFOR's hand, but to assure us of a special unit to be safe during the reporting, I trust and if this is achieved by the prime minister. I'm ready tomorrow to go”, he wrote.
