Why he was betraying the country

· SNS supporterA man approached Bozovic and questioned him during the live report.

When Bozovic asked how he was betraying it, the man accused him of “spitting on” and “insulting” the country. He then continued attacking the crew, asking Bozovic whether he was a Serb and whether he was baptised before calling him “scum.”

Are you a Serb? Are you baptised? And who are you, my friend? Tell me who you are. You're scum.

A short time later, as the crew approached the National Theatre, someone poured water on them. “It is obvious that the N1 crew is not welcome here,” Bozovic said during the live report.
