Prime Minister Dritan Abazović sent threats and comments of inappropriate content to the Gradska TV team during a tour of the beginning of the construction of the Psychiatry Clinic.
The press teams waited for the prime minister to get a statement from him, and he then turned to the Gradska TV journalist, Bojana Dabović, asking if they had any other questions and added: “You are free to ask, I always answer you. But don’t think that your hate speech should be silenced. So, if we blocked that Sputnik, not even Gradska is far from it”.
The incident was recorded and can be found on a video posted on the Gradska TV YouTube channel.
