    The editor-in-chief of the Sandzak TV network from Tutin, Amir Numanović, was attacked by a man, his fellow citizen, on September 16 at around 7:30 pm near his house.

    The attacker, who is known to the journalist, carried out the attack because he was dissatisfied with the report that was broadcast in June this year on the Sandzak TV network and was related to collecting money from citizens for asphalting the road in the part of Dobri dug in Tutin. As Numanovic confirmed to IJAS, the attacker sent him numerous curses and threats from the car on the street near the family house, and among other things threatened to “beat him” and “break his legs”, after which he left cars with the intention of physically attacking him. The conflict was avoided only because Numanovic was collected enough and took refuge in his house so that his family would not attend the physical confrontation.

    The case was reported to the police, and Numanović gave a statement in the morning.

    The Ministry of the Interior reacted very quickly, all the circumstances were investigated and the case was forwarded to the competent prosecutor.
