Insider journalist Nataša Mijušković was attacked on November 2, 2025. reporting from a meeting at the National Assembly of Serbia.

The journalist was attacked in front of a makeshift tent camp by a group of unknown men in civilian clothes who refused to show identification. After she entered the camp and took several photos, showing her journalist’s ID to members of the MUP, she was surrounded, grabbed by the arm and forced to show the recorded material with the threat “that all her bones would be broken”.

Insults were also directed at her: “How do you feel as a traitor to the Serbian people who works for Insider TV?”. The men then followed her to the police cordon, where a policeman “friendly” told her not to enter the camp again. To the journalist’s question “is it occupied territory” and the statement that another policeman previously allowed her to enter, she was told to report the case to the 192.

What is of particular concern is the passivity of the police in situations where the safety of journalists is threatened. The police are obliged to react immediately on the spot, to register the report, provide protection and take actions within their jurisdiction, and not to direct the injured to call 192 “later” or go to the station.
