On February 13, 2025, an incident occurred at the Rojc Community Center in Pula that resulted in the arrest of Mirjana Radulović and Branimir Slijepčević, the leaders of Radio Rojc. According to available information, Radulović called the police due to frequent problems with minors from the nearby Children and Youth Home, who were allegedly making noise, taking things from the premises and banging on the door.

After the police arrived, a verbal argument broke out between Radulović and the police officers. The police decided to detain Radulović, trying to handcuff her, which caused her resistance, noting that she was in pain. Her colleague, Slijepčević, tried to intervene, warning the officers about her medical condition. Despite this, both were detained.
