An unknown person insulted and attacked Vojislav Mazzocco, journalist of the portal Index.hr, while reporting on the Zagreb taxi  drivers on June 21 in Zagreb, and then hit Mazzocco’s equipment. It should not be difficult for the police to identify the attacker because the incident was recorded. The events were also witnessed by the police officers who did not take any action on this occasion, which is why CJA expects them to be punished. The police are required to perform their work professionally and apply the same criteria for the same situation and not to act selectively, depending on who the attacker is and who they are attacking.
