The Secretary of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), Anthony Bellanger, stated that it is unacceptable for 700 RTK employees to have gone two months without salaries.
He called on the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, to take urgent action to secure the budget for RTK.
“We stand firmly with our colleagues at RTK, the Association of Journalists of Kosovo – AGK, and their rightful strike,” said IFJ Secretary-General Anthony Bellanger.
“The government must immediately release the funds owed to Kosovo’s public broadcaster so that salaries can be paid and RTK can continue to operate,” the statement concluded.
