Mijailovic with two men approached to the journalist Vladimir Zivanovic and photo-reporter Boris Mirkov and started to offend them. Then, speaking to Zivanovic he imposed a direct threat to him and his family. “Do you have a family? Are you not afraid for your wife and children when doing something like this? Your wife is probably a whore and she certainly does not matter what you are doing. Are you believed in God? God gave you a second life, and you dare to come here”.
