Several journalists were attacked in protests against nationalist politician Aleksandar Vučić during his inauguration as the new President of Serbia on Wednesday.
Different NGOs report that protesters and journalists from outlets such as Insajder Production, Vice, Radio Belgrade, and the daily newspaper Danas were insulted and intimidated. The attacks came from security personel as well as Vučić supporters while Belgrade police were just looking on for most of the time.
Radomir Ličina, senior editor of Danas and acting president of the SEEMO board, told the ECPMF:
Our journalist was prevented with brutal force from doing her basic job."
