The Mašina journalist was stopped by the police, detained on the street and registered on November 30 in Sečanj.

The journalist was approached by members of the police while he was filming what was happening on the street in Sečanj, even though he was visibly wearing a “press” tag and repeatedly introduced himself to the police as a journalist.

Instead of intervening against those who violated public order and peace, the police detained the journalist completely unnecessarily and without grounds until they checked his information.
