Representatives of the Association of Journalists of Serbia (UNS) were protesting in front of the EULEX headquarters in Pristina. They were demanding that investigations be ordered regarding the murdered and missing journalists in Kosovo. Journalist association protests in Pristina UNS President Ljiljana Smajlovic said there were some 30 Serb journalists from Kosovo protesting, who were holding large banners in Serbian and Albanian “Bring us back our colleagues”. “We came because we feel the need to honor [them] in Pristina as well, and to remember the six Serbian journalists who disappeared or were killed from 1998 until 2000,” Smajlovic said. She reminded that the remains of one missing journalist were found, two years after the kidnapping, but there is still no news on the fate of the others. Smajlovic added that UNS officials would be meeting with EULEX Chief Yves de Kermabon later in the day, to present their demands for investigations to start into the cases of the missing and murdered journalists. The UNS president stated that the association will also call on the New York-based Committee for the Protection of Journalists (CPJ) to add the 16 RTS workers, killed in a NATO airstrike in 1999 when the television's headquarters in Belgrade were attacked, and the six murdered in Kosovo, to their list of journalists killed on the battlefield. Smajlovic said that the protest was peaceful, and that it went without incidents. The protest in Pristina today (Beta)
