ANEM: Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Vranje to Re-examine Rejection of Complaint for Attack on Journalist
The Association of Independent Electronic Media (ANEM) today called on the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Vranje to "re-examine" the decision of the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in that city, which rejected the report against the director of the local public utility company "Komrad", Zoran Dimitrijević, for "attacking" journalist Jelena Stojković last July.
TL;DR
- ANEM calls for a review of the decision to dismiss a report against Zoran Dimitrijević, director of JKP "Komrad".
- Dimitrijević is accused of attacking journalist Jelena Stojković and taking her phone while she was covering a fire.
- The Police Administration in Vranje had filed a criminal complaint against Dimitrijević.
- ANEM had previously requested supervision from the chief public prosecutor regarding the handling of the case, which involved merging the assault report with a counter-report.
