The Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS) and its Kosovo branch have condemned the deliberate damage to the vehicle of Nevenka Medić, director of the media outlet KoSSev, which occurred last night in the center of North Mitrovica. They are urging the police to swiftly identify the perpetrators.
The damaged vehicle, a Citroën with Kraljevo license plates, was parked on King Peter Street, directly in front of Medić’s residence. The car exhibited visible damage in three areas, believed to be the result of an attempted arson (evetnually).
Medić reported the incident to the Kosovo Police, who conducted an investigation and took her statement regarding the incident.
UNS, along with its Kosovo branch, reminded the public that nearly ten years ago, Medić’s previous vehicle, which was also used for editorial purposes, was completely destroyed by fire, and the culprits were never apprehended.
The attack has also drawn reactions from the Kosovo Journalists’ Association and the French Embassy, highlighting the ongoing concerns over press freedom and the safety of journalists in the region.
