Masina.rs co-editor Marko Miletić was attacked in Zemun Polje on June 2 at a polling station.

Miletić was trying to record suspicious and most likely illegal actions, after which several people tried to physically stop him and attack him.

On its Instagram page, the portal Mašina published a video in which Miletić is trying to escape from the thugs who are chasing him.

After he introduced himself to the woman who can be seen in the video, “I’m a journalist, madam”, the woman attacked him and repeated that “he can’t take pictures of anything”.
