About the Press Council of Kosovo

The Press Council of Kosovo is a self-regulatory body for and by the print media sector in Kosovo. It’s mission is based on the convictions of the Code of Conduct 

Freedom of speech, the right of citizens to be duly and completely informed and the respect for our Journalism Code of Ethics, are the foundations on which the Press Council is founded. It does not intend to replace the courts of Kosovo but, with the willingness to become a credible forum for the press and the readers, an impartial body from which new ideas for feeding journalist with knowledge in the field of ethics of our profession emerge.

Post war Kosovo besides the need for physical construction and problems in this field has a lot of other problems. Kosovo is now enriching its mind and soul with the main values of democracy. Independent Medias remain our permanent target as one of the most important pillars of democracy in the society.  

Therefore we urge you to write us whenever you consider that a Kosovo newspaper or magazine which is a member of our Council has violated the principles of the Code, has insulted or defamed, incited hatred speech or has denied the right to public response.

The members of the Press Council themselves and other journalist adjudicate on cases and decide on the measures.
