Kosovo’s Foreign Minister, Enver Hoxhaj, said that the Turkish Embassy’s note calling on the government of Kosovo to take necessary legal steps against the Gazeta Express journalist Berat Buzhala for his Facebook comments over the coup attempt in Turkey is out of the ordinary, unacceptable and an overreaction.  Hoxhaj said Buzhala’s comments were sarcastic and had no political motives. “In my view, the Turkish Embassy in Pristina overreacted,” said Hoxhaj adding that Kosovo respects freedom of expression and of the press.

May 29, 2014 by Amra Zejneli PRISTINA -- Jeta, a Kosovar Albanian from rural Drenica Valley, used to spend most of her days in the kitchen, sometimes baking as many as 17 loaves of bread a day to feed her husband, children, and grandchildren.
