The journalist of Novosti, Marijana Kutlača, was attacked on the Ugrinovački road in Zemun when she was returning from work, trying to film the incident that happened on the road, when a three-member family in the midst of an argument stopped a car on the road and blocked the passage of other vehicles. On that occasion, Marijana Kutlača was attacked by a girl from the car, that physically assaulted her.

The journalist told UNS: “Everything happened suddenly and unprovoked, because I didn’t want any conflict with them.” I just slipped away and took photos of the damaged bus and the girl came up and slapped me and then started pulling my hair.”
