                 OSCE Condemns Attack on Journalists in Kosovo

   by VOA News

   The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe called Monday
   for a quick and thorough investigation of an attack on journalists
   covering demonstrations in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo.

   Speaking Monday in Vienna, OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media
   Dunja MijatoviÄ said any violence against journalists is unacceptable
   and should be treated as "an attack against society as a whole." She
   said the perpetrators must be brought to justice.

   Reporter Aleksandra Jovanovic and cameraman Bojan Košanin, both from
   Radio Television of Kosovo, and reporter Vladimir Milic from Radio
   Television of Serbia, were attacked and harassed by unknown individuals
   while covering protests January 24 in Pristina, the OSCE said in a
   statement.

   Local media reported that the assailants attacked the journalists with
   sticks and stones and tried to steal their equipment.

   The Journalists Associations of both Kosovo and Serbia condemned the
   attack.
