When journalist Milica Ivanovic at Agricultural Conglomerate Porecje in Vucje near Leskovac, asked a question about the employees’ salaries, the director of the cold-storage section attacked her seizing her by the neck and grabbing her by the arm. The director, whose name is Goran Zivkovic as later learned by the journalist, tried to prevent her from making a few more photos and demanded she left the factory site. “As I refused to leave, explaining that we have permission of the general manager, he attacked me savagely”, said Milica Ivanovic.
