Ahead of the Serbian Progressive Party rally, while preparing a report on the departure of citizens from Cacak to the event, TV Nova S journalist Nebojsa Jovanović was confronted by the President of the Cacak Municipal Assembly, Igor Trifunovic, who attempted to prevent the filming of this public event through aggressive behavior. One of the present aggressors tried to stop the recording by attempting to damage the camera, pushing the cameraman, and grabbing and throwing the microphone to the ground. The police did not respond immediately.
