Life in Kosovo debates freedom of speech

In this week’s Life in Kosovo, the viewers will have the opportunity to watch a debate with representatives from the Kosovo Government and civil society on freedom of speech in Kosovo.

Is there freedom of speech in Kosovo? How much is freedom of speech respected and who are the main violators of it? Who do the Kosovar media serve to: political parties or the people of Kosovo? Are Kosovars free to express their opinions? Who protects this important freedom enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Kosovo?

To discuss these and others related to the freedom of speech and free journalism, Jeta Xharra’s guests for the show will be:
 
Besim Abazi, journalist at Voice of America; 
Memli Krasniqi, spokesperson of the government of Kosovo; 
Glauk Konjufca, from Self-Determination movement; 
Ilir Deda, from KIPRED.

During the show, BIRN will also broadcast an exclusive interview with the authors of the slogan “KPS, how much per kilo?”

The show ends with the Kosovo’s Son-in-Law satirical segment.


Life in Kosovo is a co-production between Kosovo Public Television, RTK and the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, BIRN. It is broadcast every Thursday, starting at 20:20.
