Journalist Ksenija Pavkov was with the N1 team in a village on the Serbian-Romanian border, in order to make a report. The team parked a car with N1 markings, sat down in a pub to talk with the president of the local association, after which another car stopped when it saw N1 markings, got out and started insulting them, cursing them, calling them Ustashas. He stated: “you will not tell me that I am genocidal” and similar things, and there were also threats. Then the man physically approached the journalist while her back was turned. He was stopped by the president of the local community. After that he cursed for some time and then walked away.
