In a post on social networks, Gervala stressed that RTK employees are expected to be left without salaries even after Friday with the Government of Kosovo that has not put their issue on the agenda to be held today.
In this fraught situation, near the collapse, of the public broadcaster, the director has chosen to clone the work of the true “employee” of RTK. He has said that his job is more than a survival tool. According to him, it's dignity.
“Today, true worker of RTK's got out of bed not because he called the clock, but because his clean conscience called him. Not to earn the bite of bread, but to stay. Not to take advantage of something materially, but not to lose something far deeper: dignity”, Gervala wrote.

The RTK Workers' Union, during this week, warned protests on August 6th of lack of wages and called on responsible institutions to urgently intervene to find solutions.
In a response Thursday, the union said the protest warned for 6 August remains inevitable.
