There is very little initiative for that among members of minority, least of all the Serb community. The question which is arising for quite some time is how the media are covering certain events in Kosovo, how professional they are and what the media are like in general and, of course, what the public in Kosovo can learn from them. Judging by frequent criticism coming from the UN civilian mission, KFOR and OSCE, it seems that there are plenty of complaints and they range from those referring to minor imprecision to false and unverified information. This decree bans stimulating and spreading interethnic hatred, spreading untruths or blemishing the reputation of public personalities, and not only them by media. It is also said that even individuals - politicians, every one in public affairs, even teachers, will be punished if they contribute to unstabling the situation with their statements.
Possible punishments range from fines to prison.
But nobody has actually been punished yet. The greatest part of disagreements and criticism coming from competent international officials referred to publication of the revealed lists of persons of Serb ethnic origin who were called-up during the war in Kosovo. In the local press these lists are published in negative context, that is, it is underlined that these persons participated in crimes in Kosovo and it is claimed that they are all criminals. Kouchner angrily rejected this accusation and expressed disappointment that such an article had been printed by Koha ditore. He used the opportunity and put writing of Kosovo press on the agenda for discussion of the Interim Administrative Council of Kosovo.
