Skopje, 29 May 2020 – The Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services condemns the threats made against the journalist crew of Klan TV in Kumanovo yesterday and reminds that such acts pose a threat to the freedom of information.
The Agency has underlined on several occasions so far that media workers’ safety must not be jeopardized at any time. This is why maximum efforts should be made to create conditions for the media to do their job professionally and free from threats or pressure.
Given that only free media lead to advancement of the democratic processes, we appeal that journalists be allowed to carry out their socially responsible profession with dignity and without any obstructions.
