MINT's decision to lift Klan Kosovo's business certificate has been sharply criticised by civil society, ambassadors and international media freedom organisations.

The Association of Kosovo Journalists (AGK) has even called protest against MINT's decision, where hundreds of Kosovo journalists joined this protest in Pristina on Monday.

Meanwhile, court connoisseurs in the country have been alarmed that if the Commercial Court does not impose a measure of security, then media medium Klan Kosova must close.

MINT's decision has been widely praised as pushing power for fighting the media. /Periscopi/
