The newly elected board of the Kosovo public broadcaster, Radio Television of Kosovo, RTK, has dismissed Ngadhnjim Kastrati as director for not performing his duties effectively and for violating RTK law.

Kosovo's government is determined to appoint a new board of directors at Radio Television Kosovo, but fresh faces alone won't be enough to fix the troubled public broadcaster.

Freedom of the media in Kosovo is increasingly being threatened by political pressures which include direct interference by politicians, according to a study entitled 'Media Freedom and Journalists' Safety' which was published on Monday by the Association of Journalists of Kosovo.
