In Bajina Bašta, while filming and taking photos during the election day on March 29, Ivana Marsenić, a freelance journalist who was filming the attack on journalist Darko Gligorijević, had her camera forcibly stolen by unknown men from a group of masked persons. After the attack, the person fled to the Gold restaurant, which was apparently a gathering place for SNS supporters.

The camera was not returned to Ivana, and she reported the case to the police station in Bajina Bašta.
