Kosovo government move to suspend Klan Kosova TV license alarms journalists and opposition
Kosovo government decision to suspend the business certificate of Klan Kosova, the country's largest private broadcaster, triggers accusations of political targeting and erosion of media freedom.
The Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade in Kosovo rejected the appeal of TV Klan Kosova regarding the suspension of its business certificate, effectively moving toward shutting down the station. The ministry cited a reference in the company's documentation stating that Kosovo is part of Serbia as the legal basis for revoking the license. Journalists and media freedom groups argue the move is politically motivated and represents an unprecedented attack on press freedom by Prime Minister Albin Kurti's government. Opposition leaders and international actors have expressed alarm, warning of a broader assault on democratic institutions and media pluralism in Kosovo.
