Insajderi director beaten outside his apartment. Condemnations have poured in today (Thursday, Aug. 17) after an attack on a prominent Kosovar journalist. Parim Olluri, the executive director of the online newspaper Insajderi, was beaten last night by three people in front of his apartment. Olluri and his fiancé Genta, who was with him at the time of the attack, were taken to the University Clinical Center of Kosovo (QKUK) after the incident at around 22:00. The journalist later confirmed that he has “no serious injuries,” and that his fiancé, who reportedly fainted and was suffering from shock, is feeling better. The Association of Journalists of Kosovo (AJK) reacted by calling on state authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice as “such attacks damage in essence the freedom of expression and the media.” The European Federation of Journalists echoed the reaction of AJK, by calling Kosovo authorities to “conduct a swift investigation into the attack of the journalist and his partner.” The perpetrators and the motives of the attack remain unknown, while Kosovo Police has confirmed that the case is under investigation. Olluri’s Insajderi is well known for investigative journalism, especially reporting on corruption, while Olluri was runner up in the 2016 European Union Award for Investigative Journalism. His most recent article, published on Tuesday, was an Op-Ed on former Kosovo Liberation Army commanders who have become rich after the war by misusing their power, under the title: “If Adem Jashari were alive and a corrupt millionaire.” See at: http://kosovotwopointzero.com/en/attack-journalist-widely-condemned/
