Protest Letter of Northern Kosovo Metohija's Serbian Journalists
May 5th 2005-05-07
Kosovska Mitrovica
Northern Kosovo Metohija's Serbian journalists have been facing with
additional problems for some time which disable them to do their job
properly.
Due to the entire situation in Kosovo and Metohija, the journalists are
deprived from freedom of movement like other Kosovo Metohija's Serbs.
However, transport is provided to them only when UNMIK estimates it will
serve to its interests. The journalists cannot get transport when need to
renew press cards, go to a potentially Serbian mass grave site, pay visits
to the so-called enclaves etc. On the other hand, the DPI is very eager to
take them wherever and whenever comes out a media opportunity for a
positive image of Kosovo; for instance the SRSG's and PISG's visits to rare
returning sites or anything that would portray in public honoring the
standards. It opens a floor for a speculation of UNMIK's partiality.
On numerous occasions, there is a strict selection of media to cover various
events (the last was the excavation of the mass grave in Klina, when were
invited only 2 Serbian media versus bunch of Albanian journalists), but also
visits paid by the SRSG or any other VIP to the region.
It happens often that translation either from English, or Albanian into
Serbian is not available at UNMIK's press points or briefings. The Serbian
journalists cannot properly follow the briefings and ask questions.
Following the all above mentioned, we are kindly asking UNMIK DPI for an
urgent meeting with a person in charge.
Having no intention to politicize our request, we need concrete answers to
our questions; first of all who or what is the reason that causes such
problems and what is the way to find a solution to our mutual benefit.
To conclude, we do not want anything more than a possibility to do our job
in a regular way.
Yours sincerely,
Northern Kosovo Metohija Serbian journalists
