Photojournalist Gavrilo Andrić was twice obstructed by the police while trying to record the events during the protest in Belgrade on February 16, 2026. year.

In the first situation, members of the police pushed the photojournalist without any explanation while he was filming and photographing the events near the park in front of the former Hotel Yugoslavia, where the construction of an aquarium is planned, which the citizens oppose.

Andrić had a clearly displayed press ID at that moment.

The case was not reported.
