After a group of protesters entered the RTS building, public officials commented reporting of N1 television from the event and targeting the N1 television. Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Tv Prva that the N1 reporting was hypocritical. She said that in October 2018, a journalist of N1 at the press conference of President Aleksandar Vucic said that the president made pressure on journalists from RTS because he criticized him. Also, she said: “Those journalists are keeping quiet about (opposition leaders Dragan) Djilas, (Bosko) Obradovic and Vuk Jeremic entering the RTS with chainsaws. Threats, physical violence and they keep quiet and don’t react”.
