The journalist Zarko Bogosavljevic was attacked while he was taking photos of a car accident in Novi Sad. The journalist said that the man – participant in the car accident, approached him and started to yell: “Go away, go away, or I’ll hit you”. When Zarko said that he is doing his job, the attacker started to kick him. The officer who was investigating the crime scene and who was the witness of the event did not even take a statement from the perpetrator – participant in the car accident, just telling the journalist “Go away, you can see that he is a fool”.
