[HIGHLIGHTS] The State Department will allocate $500 thousand to increase the audience of “independent media” in Kosovo

The U.S. Embassy in Pristina wants to increase the audience share of independent media in Kosovo.

The aim is to reduce the influence of “disinformation’ aimed at undermining American interests in the region. The total amount of financing for the project will be $500,000, according to the embassy. The program will help young people who may be subject to “targeted disinformation” and easily easily misled, the embassy says. It also wants to establish new “partnerships’ between “independent” journalists and their youth audience.
