Srđan Stanojević, a TV director with Television Vijesti, stated on his Facebook profile that on November 2, around 10 a.m., an incident occurred after the recording of the show “Nedjelja u retrovizoru” involving one of the guests — Vladimir Dobričanin, a member of the Montenegrin Parliament representing United Montenegro.

According to Stanojević, after leaving the studio, a discussion about the video featured in the program — showing an attack on a Podgorica resident by Azerbaijani nationals — escalated into a serious verbal confrontation. He claims that Dobričanin repeatedly insulted and verbally abused him, and at one point pulled out pepper spray and threatened to use it. Stanojević said he tried to remain calm but, after Dobričanin allegedly directed a serious insult at his mother, he moved toward him intending to strike, then stopped when Dobričanin immediately apologized. The MP reportedly apologized several more times before leaving the scene by car. According to the Media Trade Union, Stanojević did not report the incident to the police.
