The journalist team of Television N1 was attacked in front of the entrance to the premises of the company Asseco in Belgrade.

While the TV N1 team was filming the Asseco building for the purpose of the report, a worker of the company engaged in securing that facility approached them, hit and push the camera by his hand and threatened: “Just come here like some Indians, do you think that if they sent you from America you can to do what you want. You’re boring. Come to my house and I’ll shoot you like a rabbit when I see where you came from.”

Very soon after the public learned about the incident, the companies “Aseko” and “G4S Secure Solutions” sent an apology to the TV N1 team.

According to the information so far, the person who sent the threats has not been further processed.
