Renowned sports journalist Albana Bejko has spoken publicly for the first time about a serious event she experienced, revealing that she was a victim of persecution by a doctor from Kosovo, identified as Behar Kamberi.
Invited to the show "Goca dhe Gra" on Top Channel, Bejko confessed that the persecution had begun more than a year ago and had become increasingly intense, until the moment she decided to seek the help of institutions, which later led to the arrest of the perpetrator.
"A scary moment was when in the premises where I work, the person approached me and asked me to sit down for coffee. My reaction was instinctive, scared — I said 'please get rid of me'. At that very moment, four boys walked by and that scared him a little. The most intense period of the stalking was from June of last year until a few days ago, when I called the police," the journalist confessed.

In the studio, Albana also revealed the persistent and disturbing messages the Kosovar doctor sent her, which showed a deep fixation on her. He wrote to her calling her "the woman of his dreams" and proposed marriage, claiming he was the "ideal man" for her.
In one of the messages, Kamberi wrote: "Hello Albanian from Behar. I am the ideal man for you. I am an intellectual doctor, a gentleman, handsome and honest. I have a good financial situation and travel the world. But let's get married and live together in an apartment in Pristina, but also in Tirana. You will continue to work as you are now. I expect reflection from you."
In another message, he tried to convince her to meet in person: "Now that we've known each other for a long time, we've taken pictures and talked on the phone, I have an invitation for coffee with you... When it suits you and when it's good for you. I'm waiting, let me know. Behari."

While in another communication, he wrote: "It is a pleasure to meet you last night and get to know you closely. I am very happy to have spoken with you and I appreciate you very much, my most beautiful girl in Albania. I invite you to come to Pristina. I love you very much, Albana."
The journalist said that after facing such threatening situations and growing concern for her safety, she decided to file an official complaint, which put an end to the persecution.
Albana's case has sparked numerous reactions on social media, with many colleagues and citizens expressing support for the journalist and demanding that institutions treat cases of psychological violence and harassment, especially against women in public, with full seriousness.
This shocking account comes as a reminder that stalking is a form of violence that is often underestimated, but which can have serious emotional and professional consequences for victims. /Telegraph/
