During protests organized throughout Serbia over the adoption of the Law on Expropriation and the Law on Referendum in the Serbian Parliament, N1 reporter Milan Nikic was attacked on the Kragujevac-Jagodina road in the village of Gornja Sabanta, while reporting from one of the roadblocks.

A Renault driver with Jagodina registration plates attacked an N1 reporter and hit the camera hard.

Police immediately removed the driver and identified him. The procedure continued before the competent public prosecutor’s office.
