    Journalist of the portal Pcnen, Vuk Vujisic, targeted by citizens for reporting on the exploitation of gravel on river Moraca in Botun. As the control of the illegal exploitation of gravel began, the TV Vijesti team went out on the field and found one of the locals whose truck was controlled by the police. On that occasion, he threatened TV Vijesti journalist Borko Zdero that he would be thrown into Moraca and added: “All this was caused by Vuk Vujisic, that journalist, they hit the poor. He was paid to write it. Why didn’t you come when the ‘Genex’ was taking gravel out, you weren’t allowed then”.Vujisic demanded from the Police Administration to identify the unknown man and to prosecute the culprit, if it turns out that the same person had threatened him before because of the texts about the devastation of the riverbeds.

    Trade Union of Media strongly condemned the attack.
