Forereporter Gavrilo Andrić was attacked last night, although he was standing on the side in a journalist’s vest, some 100 meters away from citizens and in a group with other journalists, with a prominently displayed press card, when a policeman, who was passing by, hit him on the helmet with a baton and knocked him to the ground.

Fortunately, the journalist did not experience these physical consequences as a result of the attack.
