    Member of Parliament from the Domovinski Pokret (DP), Stephen Nikola Bartulica, falsely accused Andrej Dimitrijević, a journalist from the Faktograf portal, of harassing him in front of his children because he did not like the question he was asked. Bartulica posted a photo of the journalist on social media, claiming that Dimitrijević approached him while his children were in the car. However, Dimitrijević proved that the children were not present when he asked Bartulica why he had not declared the car he was driving in his asset declaration. Bartulica himself involved his children in the public call for the lynching of the journalist. For days, the journalist was subjected to various threats and insults triggered by Bartulica’s statement.
