The N1 team was verbally attacked on the eve of the meeting called by the President of Serbia in Sremska Mitrovica by people who attended the meeting organized by SNS.

While journalist Ksenija Pavkov was preparing to participate live in the program, people passing by sent a serious verbal threat.

A person passing by said, among other insults, “I can’t wait for you to come to Republika Srpska so we can kill you all”.

Immediately after the threat, the journalist stated live: “It is very unpleasant to stand here in the center of Sremska Mitrovica with the N1 microphone. This is the last turn on with the sponge on the microphone. People approach, they insult us. A little while ago, a man approached me and told me that he can’t wait for us all to be killed and for us to come to Republika Srpska and see what will happen.”
