The Insider team was banned from the session in Leposavic on Thursday. The session was open to public.
Pantic stressed that he did not know who had made the decision to ban the Insider reporters from entering the hall.
He personally apologized to the Insider team and on behalf of the other three northern Kosovo mayors. Pantić claims that they did not know that the B92 reporters were not allowed to attend the session on Thursday, Kosovska Mitrovica-based Kontakt Plus Radio has reported.
"I claim that I and Zvecan, Leposavic and Zubin Potok mayors did not know that the Insider team was not allowed to enter the hall where the joint session of four northern Kosovo municipalities was held," Pantic explained.
He added that he did not know who had ordered the security to ban the Insider team from attending the session and that the four mayors did not discuss the issue.
The Insider team was told by the security that they had been ordered not to allow B92 reporters to enter in order to avoid incidents.
