The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) strongly condemned the attack on the N1 TV crew, whose camera was broken, and the inaction of law enforcement, who were at the scene but reportedly did not intervene. “We call for an immediate investigation to identify and sanction the attacker,” the EFJ said.
On Thursday, while an N1 television crew was filming the area near the Serbian Parliament building, a young man approached them and demanded that they stop filming. Shortly afterward, the same young man took the camera and threw it onto the ground several times, thus destroying it.
The police, who were nearby, did not react to the incident but said that another team would arrive.
The SafeJournalists network strongly condemned yet another attack on N1 journalists.
“The SafeJournalists network joins NUNS in strongly condemning yet another in a series of attacks on media workers in Serbia. The Network demands that the competent institutions carry out an investigation, conduct the procedure, and punish the perpetrator,” it said.
