Muja to stop threats to journalists

The mayor of Prizren, Ramadan Muja, continues to use disciplinary and threatening language towards journalists regarding the manner of reporting on municipal issues. He misused the public debate on the municipal budget to raise accusations against journalists by alleging they are distorting his words.

Throughout this week, the mayor has held public hearings on the budget in certain areas of the municipality. Reporting of the media about discussions that have taken place in debates in Gjonaj, Reçane and Korishë villages have unlikely pleased mayor Muja, as the citizens have brought forth too many discontents in these debates. In the concluding debate in the Assembly Hall of the Municipality of Prizren, while responding to a question of a citizen, although at first he stated for not wanting to use confrontational vocabulary, he continued his speech with allegation that journalists usually are misrepresenting his words.
