\n

Vuk Cviji\u0107, a renowned journalist who writes about links between criminals and the authorities in Serbia, but also the security services, was punched in the head in Belgrade city centre by Milan La\u0111evi\u0107, director of the pro-government daily tabloid Srpski Telegraf, who has close ties to the Serbian authorities.<\/h2>\n

The attack was likely motivated by articles about the former Novi Sad police chief who had contacts in the top echelons of the parties in power, but also with La\u0111evi\u0107.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t expect to be attacked by someone who presents themselves as a journalist. We live in a society of violence, but this stall came as a surprise to me. The regime has switched from attacking journalists online to attacking them on the street,\u201d said Cviji\u0107, a journalist of independent weekly newspaper Radar.<\/p>\n

He reported the attack to the prosecution service, which announced that it would investigate. Srpski Telegraf newspaper and other pro-government media outlets, including national television, reported that Cviji\u0107 had staged the attack. However, a doctor\u2019s check-up showed that Cviji\u0107 had received a blow to the face, after which he was transferred for further treatment.<\/p>\n

Cviji\u0107 received support from Serbian and international journalists\u2019 associations and organisations, such as the Committee to Protect Journalists, Safe Journalists and OSCE media freedom representative Teresa Ribeiro.<\/p>\n

A gathering was also held to show support for Cviji\u0107, with the demand that the attacker be punished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
