The journalist team of N1 television was stopped at the entrance to Pionirski park, next to the building of the City Assembly, by a “guard”, as he introduced himself, who was recognized on social networks from previous similar violent situations as M.S. (34) from Sombor, who is said to have been convicted several times and spent some time in prison.

Together with another thug, they physically prevented journalist Žaklina Tatalović and a cameraman from entering Pionirski Park with insults and hate speech: “We protect Serbia from scum like you”, “You are the scum that is destroying Serbia”, “… you, the Ustasha media, I am not interested”.

The police officers present did not react to this violent and arrogant behavior, even when the journalist called them to intervene.
