The Society of Journalist of Kosovo and Metohija (DNKIM) and the Association of Journalits of Serbia (UNS) announced that they were not aware that any of Serbian journalists, editors or owners of private media have signed a letter addressed to the general director of UNESCO Irina Bokova for the admission of Kosovo into this organization.

The Journalists Associations have issued the statement regarding the announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo that owners of the private media, editors and journalists of all communities living in Kosovo, in a letter for the General Director of UNESCO Irina Bokova, gave support for the admission of Kosovo to UNESCO.   The DNKiM and UNS announcement stated that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo did not send any Serbian private media a petition of similar content.

"DNKiM and UNS remind that the very thought, or the idea that journalists and media may sign a petition for Kosovo's membership in UNESCO, means political activity and classifies journalists as political workers which from the point of the journalistic profession is not acceptable, and it is at odds with the principles of the organization as UNESCO ", the statement recalls. 

"It is true that private Serbian media in Kosovo did not provide collective support to any political idea. That, they have not done this time either".
