RTK journalist Blerta Foniqi Kabashi responds to Kurti: You talk about freedom of speech, while we left our duties because of it
RTK journalist Blerta Foniqi Kabashi has reacted to the harsh attacks by Prime Minister Albin Kurti against the media, which he described as financially linked to Serbia, while also stating that “freedom of speech must be protected.”
Foniqi Kabashi reminded him that it was precisely because of freedom of speech that she and several other journalists left their positions at RTK.

“The Prime Minister said that a democracy lives by the spoken word and that it must be free in order to be valuable.
I agree, Prime Minister.
But what I do not agree with is the fact that I and many of my colleagues have, for several months now, left our duties simply because we wanted freedom of speech to be meaningful. If, according to you, other media are paid by Serbia, my colleagues and I are paid by the taxes of the Republic of Kosovo.
- But unfortunately, even we are not free in this democracy.”
