The South East Europe Media Organisation feels sorry about the death of Bardhyl Ajeti, journalist working for Bota sot daily. On 28 June 2005 he died of gunshot wounds in a hospital in Milano, Italy
Ajeti was shot by unidentified assassins on 3 June 2005, while he was driving a car on the way to Pristina in Kosovo. He was a reporter and wrote daily editorials for the Kosovo Albanian-language daily newspaper Bota Sot. Several weeks before he was shot, Ajeti had written a complaint to the Temporary Media Commissioner in Kosovo and also informed in a letter the South East Europe Media Organisation (SEEMO), where he stated that his life in Kosovo had been threatened.
