Dritan Shakohoxha and several other Albanian journalists have once again faced an unpleasant situation, similar to that of 2014.

They were detained yesterday for more than three hours at the airport by Serbian authorities, who did not allow some of them to leave, keeping their passports.

Regarding the event, Dritan Shakohoxha reacted, saying that together with Marin Mema, Arlind Sadiku and several other journalists, they found themselves on a "black list".

According to him, the Serbian authorities did not give any clear explanation, but only repeatedly asked them about the reason for their trip to Belgrade. After several hours of waiting and a series of repeated questions, the journalists were finally allowed to leave.

"It was another absurd situation. They took my passport and some other colleagues from Albania and didn't give us any explanation. Then I saw my name, Arlind Sadiku's, Marin Mema's and some other journalists from Albania who were there and they had put us on some kind of strange list. They kept asking us 'What did we go to Belgrade for?'. They left. They came back: they asked, they left again. An endless madness. Until finally they allowed us to leave," Shakohoxha declared./Express newspaper/
