During the protest rally on the occasion of the announced enthronement of Bishop Joanikij as the Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral in Cetinje, a group of citizens did not allow the TV Vijesti team to report on the event. In the recording recorded by the TV Vijesti camera, in addition to the insults and threats addressed to the journalist and the cameraman, it is clear that unknown persons are telling them that they cannot record and that they have to leave the event.
