The "Vijesti" team reported from Cetinje for the past two days in difficult conditions, often risking safety.
Despite the growing tensions and the fact that some participants of the protest "searched" for "Vijesti" journalists, resenting the reporting, none of the five journalists and three photojournalists of the newsroom had any major discomfort.
While the journalists of "Vijesti" were waiting in front of the Belvedere on Sunday morning, one of the leaders of the demonstrators called them through a megaphone - not knowing which media company it was about - to cross the barricade, warning the crowd that, as he said, it might be about " provocateurs" and "inserted elements who are ready to provoke incidents".
He also asked the demonstrators to pay special attention to their behavior, to which one of the gathered shouted: "It's easier to beat them up right away, than to think about it later."
Immediately after that, the same person, after recognizing the "Vijesti" journalist, said over the megaphone that she was joking and that "their friend was passing by", after which they said goodbye to part of the team.
Colleagues from other newsrooms suggested to journalists on the ground that they should not say which media they work for, because many of them, wearing vests with the inscription "press", asked if they worked for "Vijesti", while insulting "Vijesti" journalists, between among other things saying that it is a "Chetnik paper".
Also, some of them inquired about the whereabouts of certain "Vijesti" journalists...
Part of the leader of the protest who recognized the Vijesti team did not reveal it to those who were looking for "Chetnik Vijesti" journalists.
Some demonstrators greeted the journalists of "Vijesti", while the organizers prevented attempts to cause inconvenience.
Demonstrators who advocated defending "Vijesti" reporting were opposed by a large number of other demonstrators.
Some of the journalists spent more than 24 hours with the protesters at the barricades without a single problem.
It was often repeated from the megaphone that "Vijesti" journalists should not touch each other and that everyone has the right to report and that they will not "be like primitive Serbs and beat journalists".
Attacks on journalists, especially those who were filming, began after clashes between protesters and the police began, mostly in an attempt to disrupt the recording of incidents.
The N1 Sarajevo team was also attacked in Cetinje yesterday.
It was reported that during the reporting, the protesters grabbed the phone of the reporter N1, poured water on her, spat on her and threw shots at her.
Interior Minister Sergej Sekulović announced on Wednesday that he cannot guarantee anyone's safety in Cetinje, not even journalists.
