During the media coverage of two events organized on Vidovdan in Belgrade, as well as during the police intervention, journalists were attacked, beaten, injured, and prevented in various ways from performing their jobs professionally. Unfortunately, this has become a common behavior among representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as at every similar event, intervention units, particularly the gendarmerie, strike journalists and cameramen who are properly identifying themselves, without interfering with the police's work.

During the commemoration of Vidovdan organized by the SNS in front of the Serbian National Assembly, we were once again able to confirm that this area is "forbidden" for journalistic teams from certain editorial offices. The team from Insajder television attempted to conduct a survey in the enclosed space but was prevented by an aggressive young man, a participant in the SNS gathering, who physically obstructed them from conducting the survey while threatening and insulting them, insisting that they leave the area, which the team from this editorial office had to comply with.
