Selvije Bajrami

While working with the Koha Ditore, Bajrami reported on various trials heard in first instance and appeal courts, and has also reported directly from Belgrade courts hearing cases against those charged of committing war crimes in Kosovo.

From 2009 to the end of 2010, she worked for the national daily newspaper the Express, where she focuses largely on covering the Constitutional Court of Kosovo.

She is currently a senior journalist at the daily Zëri newspaper and has, for the past year, been in charge of covering the key cases before the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, EULEX, and the work of EULEX’s special prosecutors’ office.

Bajrami holds a first degree in journalism and is currently studying for a master degree in journalism at the Pristina Public University.

Her fellowship investigation focused on the work of EULEX. Bajrami examined how much EULEX has achieved, or failed to achieve, during its three-year presence in Kosovo. She considered this in the light of how its multi-million euro budget is spent.

She travelled to Brussels to interview key former and current EULEX officials.
