The EU Office in Kosovo/EU Special Representative has expressed concern over the intention of Kosovo authoritirs to amend the Criminal Code of Kosovo by introducing new measures against libel and defamation. “A number of EU members or potential members, including Kosovo, have done away with criminal defamation and insult, and several others have taken important steps in that direction. Decriminalisation of libel and defamation in Kosovo was reported as progress in European Commission’s Report in 2013. Kosovo civil legislation provides sufficient safeguards against defamation and libel,” a statement issued by the EU Office reads. The EU further called on Kosovo authorities to continue adhering to the existing freedom of expression principles enshrined in the Constitution of Kosovo.
