During a session of Serbia’s National Assembly, Milos Parandilovic, a representative of the political group Novo Lice, sparked controversy after making a statement widely seen as condoning violence toward media workers.
“You’re surprised a journalist gets treated that way in the field? Well, that’s how it goes — and that’s how it will keep going,” Parandilovic said from the podium.
His remark prompted Assembly Speaker Ana Brnabic to issue an official warning for inappropriate behavior.
Footage of the incident has been widely circulated online.
