Under Fire: Exposing the U.S. Gov Campaign to Silence Truth in Kosovo

An orchestrated smear campaign targets my investigation into U.S. diplomacy in Kosovo, threatening journalistic integrity and democratic principles.

In the challenging world of international journalism, especially when it involves areas as geopolitically sensitive as the Balkans, the pursuit of truth isn't just about uncovering facts—it's also about withstanding the tidal waves of pushback that those truths often provoke. My recent experience, following an investigative report I authored on March 22, 2024, for The Frontliner Magazine, illustrates this point with stark clarity. The focus of my investigation was Gabriel Escobar, the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary and envoy to the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, whose alleged conflicts of interest could potentially undermine the very fabric of diplomacy he is supposed to uphold.
