During the protest in Novi Sad where the workers of the Chinese company China Road and Bridge Corporation were prevented from setting up a fence around the future construction site of the new bridge over the Danube in Novi Sad, Novi Sad Television journalist Emilija Marić was physically and verbally attacked.

In her statement to UNS, she stated that she went that morning with a videographer to film the beginning of the works and added: “I was recording with a mobile phone what was happening, and some of the activists recognized us and the insults started – you garbage, you piece of sh**, you had an unhappy childhood, we will find you. Then one of them approached me, hit me and broke my phone, which hit me in the head”.
