KosovaPress marks the 23rd anniversary of its establishment
KosovaPress News Agency today marks the 23rd anniversary of its establishment. KosovaPress was established on January 4, 1999, as a need of the time to inform about the developments in Kosovo, giving a great contribution in informing the local and international public about the liberation war, Serbian crimes, and NATO bombing.
During the war, KosovaPress published news in Albanian, English, German and French.
After the dissolution of the Provisional Government in January 2000, and the establishment of the Provisional Administrative Council, all institutions established by the Kosovo Liberation Army, namely the political directorate of the KLA and the Provisional Government, were dissolved.
In September 2000, KosovaPress began its journey as an independent news agency. The beginning was difficult, but later, thanks to perseverance, the development period began and, year after year, the expansion of services began.
In 2002, KosovaPress launched the prepaid system, initially in Albanian, and from 2005 it resumed publishing news in English, and in 2007 in Serbian and Turkish.
On the tenth anniversary of its establishment (2009), KosovaPress brought innovations in the country's media market: video-news and audio-news, while on the 15th anniversary of its establishment it opened an office in Tirana. The 16th anniversary brought another innovation, that of the photo sector.
On the 17th anniversary of its work, KosovaPress presented its latest innovation, which was the live broadcast of events. The live broadcasts were realized with the latest technology, with 4K cameras. Continuous investment in technology today allows KosovaPress to make up to 10 "live" broadcasts at the same time, as well as directed.
When KosovaPress celebrated two decades of work, the Production Department was introduced, which deals with the realization of educational-entertaining shows, such as the children's show "Foleja" and the show "Cult".
In 2017, KosovaPress became a full member of the network of News Agencies of the Balkan and Southeast European Countries (ABNA-SE). KosovaPress, since its membership, has made a valuable contribution to the promotion of national values in the news network that are edited on ABNA platforms. In September last year, after successfully organizing the ABNA-SE General Assembly, the presidency was given to KosovaPress.
Thanks to the dedication, responsibility and accuracy, the largest and most important media in Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, and other countries in the region and beyond continue to trust the KosovaPress News Agency, cooperating closely for years.
KosovaPress News Agency continues to bring to the reader and the client everything that happens in the daily political, economic and social life of Kosovo, the region, Europe and the world, but also by raising important issues through interviews, documentaries, reports etc.
Currently, KosovaPress operates in three languages, Albanian, English and Serbian, and continues to have the objective of being a trusted source of news as well as a contributor to increasing freedom of expression.
