Journalist of daily Pobjeda, Djurdjica Coric, was forcibly thrown out of the hall of the Municipal Assembly of Budva.

Journalist Coric was picked up and pushed into the hall, only to be kicked out by private security. On that occasion, her hand was slightly injured.

The media were not allowed to attend the session at which the new president of the Municipality of Budva was voted on.

The journalist tried to record the entry of the opposition into the hall of the Municipality, but the security, without prior warning, rudely threw her out of the building.

The police identified the security guard and the prosecutor from Kotor was informed about the report, who stated that there were no elements of a criminal offense in the event.
