Beta and Autonomija journalist Dalibor Stupar reported that while reporting from the protest of supporters of the Serbian Progressive Party, members of the Gendarmerie stole his phone and chased him away while he was filming the apprehension of a citizen, despite the fact that he had clearly visible journalistic insignia, a vest and said he was a journalist.

According to his statements, although he stated that he did not disturb anything, he was still chased behind the police cordon, where his phone was later returned to him.
