The opinion was issued in the procedure following a complaint filed by organization \u201cR.\u201d from B. against media portal \u201c\u0422.\u201d due to the title of texts published on media portal \u201c\u0422.\u201d on 14 and 15 October 2014 \u2013 \u201cKosovo is the Heart of Serbia: This is How Shiptars United Football Fans \u2018Grobari\u2019 and \u2018Delije\u2019!\u201d, \u201cPotential Chaos: Shiptars are already in Knez Mihalova Street, Is There a Threat of the War of Football Fans!?\u201d, \u201cExclusive Video: This is How Shiptars Smuggled the Flag of the Great Albania to Belgrade!\u201d and \u201cShiptar Journalist for \u0422: We Knew that Our Football Fans were Up to Something Big!\u201d. After an incident on the football match between Serbia and Albania, numerous media wrote about these events, including medial portal \u201c\u0422\u201d. In the course of the procedure was determined that, for almost half a century, calling the Albanian people \u201cShiptars\u201d in Serbia has been considered to be offensive, to insult members of this national minority, and that the use of this term may, particularly in conflicts, encourage intolerance towards the Albanian people and members of the Albanian national minority. Such a manner of reporting, supported by a colloquial and defamatory name for an ethnic group, deepens the gap between members of the Albanian national minority and the majority population, provoking repulsiveness towards male and female Albanians in the majority population, a feeling of insecurity in members of the Albanian national minority, as well as labelling of their entire community. The Commissioner for the Protection of Equality issued an opinion that texts \u201cKosovo is the Heart of Serbia: This is How Shiptars United Football Fans \u2018Grobari\u2019 and \u2018Delije\u2019!\u201d, \u201cPotential Chaos: Shiptars are already in Knez Mihalova Street, Is There a Threat of the War of Football Fans!?\u201d, \u201cExclusive Video: This is How Shiptars Smuggled the Flag of the Great Albania to Belgrade!\u201d and \u201cShiptar Journalist for \u0422: We Knew that Our Football Fans were Up to Something Big!\u201d that were published on medial Portal \u201cT.\u201d on 14 and 15 October 2014, that is, the use of term \u201cShiptar\u201d in the titles of these texts violated the provisions of the Law on the Prohibition of Discrimination. For this reason, a recommendation was issued to media portal \u201cT.\u201d\u00a0 not to publish articles in the future that insult dignity of male and female members of the Albanian national minority, and to contribute with its articles to changing patterns, customs and practices that create stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination against male and female members of the Albanian national minority, and to make sure in the future not to violate legal regulations on the prohibition of discrimination in the course of its regular operations and activities.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n PROTECTION OF EQUALITY<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n No. 07-00-90\/2015-02 date: 10 July 2015 OPINION The opinion was issued in the procedure following a complaint filed by organization \u201cR.\u201d from B. against media portal \u201c\u0422.\u201d due to the title of texts published on media portal \u201c\u0422.\u201d on 14 and 15 October 2014 \u2013 \u201cKosovo is the Heart of Serbia: This is How Shiptars…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[180],"tags":[186],"class_list":["post-31412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-national-affiliation","tag-media"],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n
