During the night between Saturday and Sunday, an unknown young man with a hood over his head kicked and broke the glass of the gate of the Hungarian media house in Subotica several times and then fled the scene. In the announcement of Radio-Television Pannon it was stated: “The building of the Hungarian media house in Subotica was fiercely attacked.” An unknown man kicked the front door several times during the night, causing extensive material damage.
