On Sunday, during the election day, in the village of Šarbanovci near Bor, unknown thugs wearing masks randomly emerged from black SUVs and attacked activists, journalists, and students. That day, Lazar Dinić, a student, journalist for Revolt, and activist of the group Stav, sustained serious bodily injuries and is now facing surgery on his sinus bone after such relentless beating. In an interview with Nova.rs, Dinić said that the masked thugs beat him until they broke the bones in his head and until he agreed to say that “Aca is the president.”
