PRISHTINË/PRIŠTINA, 2 November 2025 – On the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, the OSCE Mission in Kosovo launched the documentary “Beyond the Headlines”, which highlights the growing threats against media professionals and the urgent need for stronger institutional protection.

Produced in co-operation with local journalists, the documentary examines rising cases of online harassment, smear campaigns, and physical assaults. Since January 2025, 56 incidents against journalists have been reported, already exceeding last year’s total. Women journalists remain especially vulnerable to gender-based threats and harassment.

In addition to the documentary, the Mission is  supporting a debate on the same topic, which will be aired tonight on TV Dukagjini at 1900 hrs. The debate will feature prominent journalists and a prosecutor, who will discuss the challenges journalists face in exercising their duties and the institutional response from the justice system.

“The rise in attacks and online harassment, especially against women journalists, is deeply concerning and unacceptable,” said Gerard McGurk, Head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo. “Greater, more sustained efforts are needed to ensure journalists can work safely and independently.”

The Chairperson of the Association of Journalists of Kosovo Xhemajl Rexha, noted that the last four years have been the most difficult for journalism in Kosovo, citing intensified attacks and lenient penalties that embolden perpetrators.

“The situation for journalists in Kosovo is worsening, with a worrying culture of impunity,” said Jan Braathu, OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media. “Authorities must recognize the essential role journalists play in democracy and act decisively to ensure their safety.”

The Mission takes the issue of the safety of journalists seriously. Over the years, OSCE has worked closely with partners - the Press Council of Kosovo, the Independent Media Commission, and the Association of Journalists of Kosovo - to translate this commitment into concrete action. Besides providing legal aid to journalists facing defamation lawsuits or digital harassment, the Mission donated protective vests and jackets marked with PRESS insignia to help journalists be easily identified during protests and crisis events.

It has also organized joint crisis reporting training for journalists and the Kosovo Police and produced court reporting guidelines to help both journalists and members of the judiciary better understand each other’s roles, rights, and responsibilities.

Prosecutors, investigators and law enforcement officials from across Albania came together in Lalëz on 29–30 October 2025 for a two-day training on anti-money laundering and anti-corruption measures. Organized by the OSCE Presence, the course aimed to strengthen Albania’s institutional and operational capacities to investigate complex financial crimes.

The event brought together prosecutors from the Special Structure against Corruption and Organized Crime (SPAK) and district prosecution offices, investigators from the National Bureau of Investigation, officers from the Albanian State Police and representatives from the General Directorate of Anti-Corruption and the Tax Investigation Unit. Participants shared regional experiences and practical methodologies to tackle corruption and financial crime more effectively.

Through in-depth sessions and case-based discussions, participants examined effective approaches to preventing corruption in public procurement, detecting illicit financial flows, tracing proceeds of crime and reinforcing international co-operation in criminal investigations.

Opening the event, Catherine Dunmore, Senior Legal Officer at the OSCE Presence in Albania, emphasized that financial crime and corruption continue to undermine public trust and the rule of law. She highlighted the importance of sustained inter-institutional co-ordination among prosecutors, investigators and law enforcement authorities to strengthen accountability, integrity and effectiveness within Albania’s justice chain.

The course saw the contribution of five distinguished experts: Colonel Giampiero Carrieri, Diplomatic Attaché at the Embassy of Italy in Albania; General Giovanni Salerno, Commander of the Special Anti-Corruption Unit of Italy’s Guardia di Finanza; Mirko Kučina, Head of the Economic Crime and Corruption Service at the Croatian National Police; Vedran Libl, Deputy Director of the State Prosecutor’s Office for the Suppression of Organized Crime and Corruption (USKOK); and Hergis Jica, Head of the Co-ordination Affairs Sector at the EUROPOL Directorate of the Albanian State Police.

The OSCE Presence in Albania organized the activity through cross-departmental collaboration, reflecting its integrated approach to promoting transparency, resilience and co-operation across the justice and security sectors.

Marco Keiner, Director of the Environment Division at UNECE, underlined the continued relevance of the Aarhus Convention in ensuring environmental rights and accountability.

In his keynote speech, Michel Forst, UN Special Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders under the Aarhus Convention, reaffirmed the need to protect individuals and groups advocating for environmental justice.

The meeting also featured a practical capacity-building session on gender mainstreaming, supporting participants in integrating gender perspectives into climate policy, project management, and the protection of environmental human rights defenders.

The 2025 Aarhus Centres Annual Meeting was made possible through the contributions of Italy, Germany, and Norway to the OSCE extra-budgetary project “Strengthening Aarhus Centres in the OSCE area to promote good environmental governance and sustainable development.”
