The Insider journalist identified the attacker from the tent camp in front of the Assembly.

Although on Tuesday, at the invitation of the prosecutor of the First Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, Nataša Mijušković was heard as a citizen, today, due to the newly arisen circumstances, she was once again heard at the Prosecutor's Office, which has, in an expedited procedure, forwarded the case to the Ministry of Interior of Serbia.

The attack on the Insider journalist occurred on Sunday evening on the roadway dividing the National Assembly and Pioneer Park, where government supporters have been located for months.

As Mijušković stated, she was on a work assignment reporting from the gathering in front of the Assembly. During the evening, she entered the fenced-off area in front of the Assembly, which she was allowed to enter by police officers, where she took several photographs and one video recording. At the moment she tried to exit the fenced area, she was surrounded by a group of men, preventing her from leaving.

At that moment, one of the men grabbed her by the arm and threatened to take her phone. One of them then told her to delete everything "so they wouldn't break all her bones." The group prevented her from leaving the place, surrounding her and watching what she was deleting on her phone.

Today, Minister of Interior Ivica Dačić stated that the police responds to every report of attacks near Pioneer Park and that it is not true that they did not react on site.

"The police responds to every report, and do not misuse this," Dačić briefly told journalists, hurriedly leaving the inter-ministerial conference on labor migrations within the Central European Initiative.

Journalists asked Minister Dačić why the police did not react to the attacks on journalists near Pioneer Park and the FTN student on site.

"That is absolutely not true," Dačić said, but he did not answer the question of who ordered the police not to react to the attacks near Pioneer Park.

Dačić stated that the police monitored who was in Pioneer Park and whether there were any weapons there.

"I have said that a hundred times," Dačić said.

The Minister of Interior was in a hurry today and there was no opportunity for the Insider journalist to ask him a question at the press conference. Among other questions for Dačić was how it is possible that police officers do not react on site. It is worth recalling that after the attack in the tent zone, when the individuals who surrounded her let her leave, Mijušković soon encountered a police officer in uniform and told him what had happened to her.

He advised her that his friendly advice was not to enter there. When she explained to him that it was her job, he told her to call 192. To her remark that "he is 192," the uniformed police officer replied, "I understand all of you, but that’s it."

The investigative portal KRIK published a database of individuals who have been in the tent settlement in front of the Assembly and Pioneer Park for months, referring to them as party guards.
