In front of the city library, Sljivic was attacked when he tried to record the dance group, with visibly prominent journalist accreditation. At first, he attacked by security member, while the second jumped from the stage and tried to hit him with a handheld radio station. “Only with help of worker of the Tourist Organization of Vrnjacka Banja Goran Karavesovic, I managed to defend myself,” said Sljivic.
