On June 30, a TV Forum journalist from Prijepolje was performing her journalistic work from a public area when she was filming the landfill in Druglići near Prijepolje, and was harassed and disturbed by the workers present.

Filming of the fire was prevented by several persons at all costs, with the presence of the President of the Municipality of Prijepolje, Drago Popadić, who also demanded that the journalist stop filming the fire. Halil Rovčanin, a local construction contractor, got in her face disturbingly and threatened her, further endangering her safety.

The cases were reported to the competent public prosecutor’s office.
