The suspect in the attack on Insider journalist Nataša Mijušković has been placed under house arrest.

As a reminder, Pijevac was apprehended at the end of December, and the prosecution suspects him of committing the criminal offense of coercion by threatening the journalist from Insajder with serious bodily harm to force her to delete recordings from her phone.

Pijevac was interrogated at the First Basic Public Prosecutor's Office on December 26, where he did not present a defense.

The entire incident occurred in a fenced-off tent settlement in front of the National Assembly, where a large number of police officers were present.

Nataša Mijušković, while reporting from the gathering in front of the Assembly, entered the fenced area where she was allowed in by police officers, where she took several photographs and one video recording. At the moment she tried to leave the fenced area, she was surrounded by a group of men, preventing her from leaving.

One of the men present grabbed her arm and, under the threat of "breaking all her bones," forced her to delete recordings from her phone.

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 area in front of the Assembly where she was allowed in by police officers, where she took several photographs and one video recording. At the moment she attempted to leave the fenced area, she was surrounded by a group of men, preventing her from leaving.

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

While this was happening, Mijušković did not see any police officers in uniform. She asked the people surrounding her to identify themselves, but they refused. When they finally let her go, she soon encountered a police officer in uniform and explained to him what had happened. He told her that his friendly advice was not to enter there. When she explained to him that it was her job, he replied that she should call 192. In response to her remark that "he is 192," the uniformed police officer said, "I understand all of you, but that’s that."
