Ravenier for the Klan Kosova case: We take seriously all tendency to limit the role of the media

Ambassador of the United States to Kosovo Jeffrey Havenier, referring to the Klan Kosova television case, has said he takes seriously all trends to limit the role of the media. He has stressed that any attempts to influence operation, business registration, broadcasting independent media require consideration [...]
He has stressed that any attempts to influence operation, business registration, broadcasting independent media require very careful and detailed reviews, and these actions should not be taken lightly, or without very important reasons.
This is an important issue and the American Embassy has spoken on this issue. You know about the United States, considering our history for a minute, the question of free and unlimited media is very important. In 1787, I'm going back a little bit to history, when our constitution was discussed and sent to states for ratification, it became clear that there were concerns that certain specific rights, one of which was media freedom, and it was a condition of several states to ratify the constitution, they had to pass certain amendments called the Law of Rights, including freedom of the media”, said Havener in Kosovo.
On the other hand, he has said that media freedom is part of the United States' basic US ideals.

So we take seriously all trends to limit the role of the media and provide that service to society for transparency and accountability. So we're looking at this closely. We believe that any attempts to influence operation, business registration, the transmission of independent media require very careful and detailed reviews and these actions should not be taken lightly, or without very important reason”, Saveer stressed.
Asked about whether he believes he will be able to hold another interview at the Klan Kosovo studios in the near future, he has responded positively.
“I'm pretty sure that you and I will have the opportunity to do more interviews in the future, but”, he replied.
