On Friday, May 24, while Jovanovic was on duty photographing the area where the parking zone will be located in Carlija Caplina St. in Belgrade when an unknown man approached to him and told him he can’t take any photos. After Jovanovic explained that he is doing his job and needs the photo as an illustration for the article regarding the new parking zone, adding that the street is a public space where taking photos is allowed, the man began to yell. He kicked Jovanovic and his camera, and finally spat him. He then threatened to set the driver Svetozar Miranovic and their vehicle on fire.
