Journalist Darko Bulatovic, experienced inconvenience on the job while trying to take a picture of a malfunction of a water pipe, in Voja Deretica street, and thus inform citizens about the problem. At one point two workers of a company Bemax’s came to him and one of them pushed him while telling him to move away from the site. At the same time, the other worker didn’t allow him to take a picture of a site where they were working, although this was a public place and althoug the whole city was ran out of water. One of them, at one point told him that journalist of “Vijesti” could not take photos of anything, apparently not knowing that Bulatović had been working for portal Onogošt. The other worker was threatening him and tried to take the phone out of his hand.
