Milan Antonijević, Serbia’s Commissioner for the Protection of Equality, is under pressure to apologize to news outlet N1 following accusations he made last year. The controversy stems from his response to questioning about a violent incident in Valjevo where a student was allegedly assaulted in an elevator. Instead of addressing the assault, Antonijević accused an N1 journalist of running a campaign against him. This occurred a year after reports of excessive force used by authorities against citizens in Valjevo surfaced. The incident has renewed scrutiny of Antonijević’s role and actions surrounding the initial event. N1 has requested an apology, and the situation highlights tensions between the commissioner and the media outlet. The call for accountability follows a year of unanswered questions regarding the original use of force.
