So stated the renowned media lawyer, butterfly Kusari, at an extraordinary news conference:
“The KPM bill was approved at the government meeting four days before the red year he was published on the KM page following our request that the document be pblic
For the first time in Kosovo's history, it radically changes the way online media regulation publish videos, we know that almost all media publish videos, from the system of self-regulation we have in Kosovo in state regulation, forcing them to undergo state regulation.
Legal changes that reason on behalf of the alignment of our legislation with the European one are in flagrant conflict with the Council of Europe standards.
Under 1, online media will be subject to state license by KPM
Online media will be forced to open companies to meet registration requirements
Online media will submit to the fine regime of up to 400,000 euros and we know that 400,000 euros is enough to shut down each media online.
What we have seen with this proposal that the prime minister's legal office initiative is the initiative to control online media through licensing and is the next press freedom attack.
The state camera will easily be used against each medium with the threat of a fine of 40 thousand euros, which risks closing each medium”, Periscopi said.
AGK Chairman Xhemajle Rexha said:
The government will proceed and developments are expected next week and we have invited this extraordinary conference to publicise our remarks on this law.
From the beginning we have been in constant contact to publicize our objections.
Government efforts to attack the media and control them because it is estimated that the KPM monitored, controlled and punished online media with video content.
We consider this an attack on media freedom.
We invite the government to withdraw from these changes and invite acters, media and civil society to be able to do their job without political pressure”, he said.. /Periscopi
