While the residents of the Home for the Elderly in Split were being evacuated due to a coronavirus infection, a member of the Split-Dalmatia Police Department interrupted the live broadcast of HTV journalist Ivana Šilović without keeping a safe distance and without protective equipment. At the same time, he arrogantly and in an elevated tone, waving his arms and shouting, addressed the journalist, her guest, the television crew and other journalists with the words: “Let’s get out of here, who is this here, aloo gentlemen, it doesn’t matter what they do, I won’t see anyone here.” The incident was recorded on the recording of the Dalmacija portal today. It is important to note that the journalists were standing in the place for which they had just received permission from the Intervention Police.
