The journalist of the Storyteller portal, Vladimira Dorčova Valtnerova, was interrupted by the Gendarmerie while reporting from a gathering of citizens who gathered in Bački Petrovac to express their dissatisfaction with the visit of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.

Namely, the cordon of the Gendarmerie surrounded the citizens, and the Storyteller journalist found herself in that circle. Although she had visible signs that she was a journalist and said she had come to report, the police did not allow her to leave the ring. Regarding this case, NUNS contacted the contact point in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and after some time the journalist was allowed to move freely.
