Who is Terzić, the man who prevented an ETV Portal journalist from filming: Previously arrested, threatened Mujović

During yesterday’s blockade of a roundabout in Podgorica, organized by residents of Botun as a protest against the construction of a wastewater treatment plant, an incident occurred when a citizen Bojan Terzić prevented an ETV Portal journalist from filming by covering the phone camera with his hand. Terzić is known to the police and was arrested in September after threatening Podgorica Mayor Saša Mujović over the construction of the sewage collector.

The incident occurred when a citizen attempted to pass through the blockade at the Podgorica roundabout leading toward Nikšić and Cetinje, stating that his wife, who was in another Podgorica neighborhood, was pregnant and experiencing pain. Despite this, those gathered did not allow him to pass, and a verbal confrontation ensued.

The journalist, who was merely performing her professional duties, attempted to record the event on her phone, at which point Terzić physically prevented her from doing so, shouting at her: „Come on, get out of here. Don’t film“.

Terzić arrested for threatening Mujović

One of the more vocal speakers at the gatherings was Terzić himself, who stated that the blockades would not be lifted until representatives of the authorities met with them and an agreement was reached.

- You’ll have blockades every day, you asked for it, now watch. Grab some popcorn and enjoy your defeat. You will not subdue Zeta - he said.

Bojan Terzić was arrested in late September last year for making threats against Podgorica Mayor Saša Mujović, at the time over the plan to build the sewage collector in Botun.

The Police Directorate then explained that a criminal complaint had been filed against Terzić on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of endangering security by posting an offensive and threatening comment addressed to the mayor on Instagram.

On that occasion, Branislav Stijepović was also arrested, and a misdemeanor complaint was filed against him on suspicion that he had directed insulting words at Mujović.

Residents of Zeta who oppose the construction of the wastewater treatment plant have been blocking certain roads for two days now, and the blockades have also been attended by Democratic People’s Party (DNP) leader Milan Knežević and the President of the Municipality of Zeta Mihailo Asanović.

According to the law, all public gatherings of more than 20 people must be reported to the police.
