A solidarity gathering was held for attacked journalists in front of the Assembly of Serbia.

The assembled group carried a banner with the inscription "N1 is not alone" and "Awaken, rebellious university," waved Serbian flags, and blew whistles.

The event was attended and reported on by representatives of the Association of Journalists of Serbia (ANS), including journalists from Informer, Studio B, Serbian Telegraph, and other tabloids who brought banners with the messages "The color of the microphone is not an excuse for violence" alongside microphones from N1 and Informer, "We are glad you finally woke up," "Stop violence against journalists," and "Thank you for your support."

This gathering was called by the Independent Journalists' Association of Serbia, the Association of Media, the Association of Online Media (AOM), the Independent Journalists' Society of Vojvodina (NDNV), the Business Association of Local and Independent Media "Local Press," the Slavko Ćuruvija Foundation, the Journalists' Association of Serbia (UNS), the Independent Trade Union, and the Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM).

The associations called on the entire journalistic community and citizens to express professional solidarity with the N1 team, as well as with all journalists who have been targets of attacks while reporting in the public interest over the past period.

The attack on the N1 team occurred on November 20 at the intersection of Vlajkovićeva and Nikola Pašić Square, when an unknown man approached them, demanded that they stop recording, and shortly thereafter took and threw their camera.
