Journalist and reporter of Nova TV, Dunja Ranković, was exposed to insults, throwing and physical attacks during her participation in the live program during the events organized by the Serbian Progressive Party in Belgrade.

Right before the start, when she put the recognizable sponge on the microphone, dozens of throws followed, and towards the end of the call, a man approached her and threw a water bottle at her.

Fortunately, the journalist avoided being hit, while the assailant continued to insult and swear at her even after the interview ended.

The case was not reported.
