While they were preparing to record the statement of the former RS ​​Railways employee, on Wednesday, February 10, journalist Đorđe Vujatović and the cameraman who worked with him were approached by RS Railways security worker Milenko Kičić, who verbally attacked them and threatened to “break their camera” and “break them on the concrete” if they continue filming. At that moment, the media crew was in a public area, at the parking lot in front of the RS Railways, which they tried unsuccessfully to explain to the security worker who attacked them. The cameraman managed to record part of this incident and in the end, the police were called and took statements from all the actors in this event.
