The Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, launched a forceful critique of the media, insisting that AGK immediately cease its damaging campaigns against journalists. This action also prompted concerns regarding potential pressure exerted against RTK. Lajme and Gazeta Express reported this development on April 2nd, 2026, at 4:40 PM.
Following the Prime Minister’s attacks on media outlets during parliamentary discussions, the Association of Kosovar Journalists issued a strong response. AGK emphasized that Kurti’s accusations followed just days after a fact-finding mission by the European Commission for Journalist Safety determined that Kosovo had witnessed a consistent deterioration in media freedom over recent years. During Thursday’s session of the Kosovo Parliament, Prime Minister Albin Kurti continued his criticisms of the media and journalists, specifically referencing “untraceable money flows.” The Prime Minister’s statement utilized the parliamentary forum to further his attacks on the media.
This situation underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding freedom of the press and the role of the media within Kosovo.
