Any form of violence, threats or harassment of journalists is unacceptable and has no place in a democratic society.
This was told to "Vijesti" by the Delegation of the European Union (EU) in Montenegro.
"We reiterate that public officials must refrain from inappropriate political interference, including harsh public criticism of media representatives. Media freedom is a fundamental democratic value of the European Union and a key element of Montenegro's EU accession process," the EU Delegation said in response to a question from "Vijesti".
Two residents of Botun warned Vijesti journalist Nikola Saveljić the day before yesterday not to "provoke with questions" and that he would "do badly in the field, not those who send him," if he continued like this.

Saveljić said they did this after he asked a question to the president of the Democratic People's Party (DNP), Milan Knežević, who, after being questioned, compared the journalist to his aunt who "asks and answers questions herself."
Saveljić reported from Botun the day before yesterday, after Knežević called on the people of Botun and Zeća to an urgent gathering on his X-order because "the police have stopped traffic for freight vehicles and are obviously preparing an intervention against the residents of Botun," which the Police Directorate denied.
The residents of Botuni have been protesting for days against the construction of a wastewater treatment plant in this Zeta settlement.
