Besnik Boletini, Arta Berisha and finally Safet Kabashaj, all three members of the Radio and Television Board of Kosovo (RTK) have resigned after the publication of the news of the Bosnian portal where Nacionale and Periskopi are heavily attacked.
Meanwhile, Nacionale has managed to secure the minutes of Brodi's first meeting in which the publication of this news and the taking of measures were discussed.
Today, Nacionale will publish everything that was discussed in the meeting of the RTK Board a day after the publication of the news of "Slobodna Bosna" in the RTK central news.
In this record, which has 16 pages, are all the discussions of the Board, including the director of the TV, Rilind Gërvalla.
According to this verbal process, the member of the Vetëvendosje party who is the director of Television, Rilind Gërvalla has justified the publication of the news by calling on sources from the security institutions.
Also, in this meeting, news comparisons were made, mentioning also the audio-initiations of the head of the deputies of the VV, Mimoza Kusari - Lila, with the Serbian criminal, Milan Radoijičič.
Furthermore, the record shows who blocked the dismissal of Rilind Gërvalla from the position of director.
Meanwhile, three members of the RTK Board have resigned these days.
The Chairman of the Board Besnik Boletini announced his resignation from the position of Chairman of the Board of RTK. He stated that the findings of the report clearly showed that RTK had violated professional standards. Boletini has accused the deputy director of RTK, Adi Krasta, of not wanting to take measures against those who caused the scandal.
"Today, during the board meeting, I resigned from the position of chairman and member of the RTK Board. Efforts to address the scandal of the publication of an unverified article during these weeks were daily and continuous, despite the difficulties. The findings of the commission's report were clear. Since August 9, the deputy director Adi Krasta (who has the responsibilities of the director) is not addressing this report. Being in charge of the public broadcaster for even one day is a privilege, but also a responsibility. And as it is seen, he has no will to take measures against those who caused the scandal", he wrote.
Arta Berisha also confirmed yesterday that her resignation is related to the scandal of the Slobodna Bosna article published on RTK.
Berisha has said that the professional standards of journalism have been violated, and according to her the board has lied. Safet Kabashaj also resigned from the position of Board member. You can read his statement after his resignation here.
Meanwhile, a member of the Board, Albulena Mehmeti, reacted to these resignations, criticizing her colleagues.
