Prvi od ovih izveštaja CRLM je uradio za lokalne medije sa Kosova koji izveštavaju na srpskom jeziku. Na pitanja o bezbednosti novinara i medija, saradnje sa udruženjima i institucijama države, političkim pritiscima, edukaciji i finansiranju i poslovanju odgovarali su urednici i menadžment Radija Goraždevac, Radija Kontakt Plus, Radija Mitrovica Sever, Radija KiM i KoSSev-a.
Autorke izveštaja Jana Jacić i Jelena Milenković zaključile su da iako većina njihovih sagovornika procenjuje da su pritisci i pretnje manje izraženi nego prethodnih godina – novinari na Kosovu se sa njima i dalje suočavaju. Verbalni napadi su najučestaliji, a veliki problem predstavlja i selektivno pozivanje od strane Srpske liste, kao i potpuno ignorisanje, odnosno nepozivanje novinara prilikom poseta kosovskih zvaničnika severu Kosova.
Kolika je zatvorenost institucija svedoči i dugo čekanje na odgovore koji se tiču najosnovnijih, servisnih informacija. Pored celokupne atmosfere u kojoj novinari rade, na poslovanje medija koji izveštavaju na srpskom jeziku, a koji su analizirani u ovom izveštaju, posebno utiče povlačenje sredstava USAID-a, budući da je projektno finansiranje glavni način finansiranja ovih medija jer od klasične prodaje reklamnog prostora u svojim medijima ne mogu da zarade iz različitih spoljnih razloga. Celokupna situacija utiče na teško pronalaženje novih kadrova, ali i na napuštanje profesije od strane iskusnih novinara.

Report on Serbian-Language Media in Kosovo
Within the project "Upgrading of the prevention and response system and mechanisms in cases of threats to the safety and life of female and male journalists in Serbia", the Association of Independent Electronic Media with partners Center for Development of Local Media (CRLM) from Požarevac and Insider TV strives to improve the system of protection of journalists and media workers. One of the activities of the project is the preparation of a report by the CRLM on the state of local media, both in terms of security and financial and every other relevant aspect for the independence and professionalism of the media.
The first of these reports was done by CRLM for the local media from Kosovo reporting in the Serbian language. The editors and management of Radio Goraždevac, Radio Kontakt Plus, Radio Mitrovica Sever, Radio KiM and KoSSev answered questions about the safety of journalists and the media, cooperation with associations and state institutions, political pressures, education and financing and business operations.
The authors of the report, Jana Jacić and Jelena Milenković, concluded that although most of their interlocutors estimate that the pressures and threats are less pronounced than in previous years, journalists in Kosovo still face them. Verbal attacks are the most frequent, and a big problem is the selective approach to media by the Serbian List, as well as the complete ignoring, that is, not inviting journalists during the visits of Kosovo officials to the north of Kosovo.
How closed the institutions are is evidenced by the long wait for answers regarding the most basic service information. In addition to the overall atmosphere in which journalists work, the operations of media that report in the Serbian language, which are analyzed in this document, are particularly affected by the withdrawal of USAID funds, since project financing is the main way of financing these media because they cannot earn from the classic sale of advertising space in their media for various external reasons. The whole situation affects the difficulty of finding new staff, but also the abandonment of the profession by experienced journalists.
