Jovica was attacked in the workshop by six masked men with metal bars and crowbars. Although he protected his head with his hands, he ended up on the floor from the force of the blow. Customer Dragojle from Ljig fared even worse, six other masked men broke his cheekbones and punctured his lungs.

Horrific photos people who were injured in Valjevo, which spread through social networks, proved to be authentic.

Namely, everything happened on August 15 in the evening, in Grabovica, a suburban settlement in Valjevo. On that occasion Jovica Jeremić (45) was injured who works in the "Živković" car service. He tells "Vreme" that it was, as far as he remembers, 20 hours and 50 minutes.

The workshop door was open. Six masked people entered, in black t-shirts and hoodies, they had metal maces, crowbars, axes, it was obvious that they had come to kill...

He only managed to raise his arms, to protect his head, when he was hit by a metal rod over a meter long, with a hook on top. Although he protected himself with his hands, he fell to the ground from the force of the blow. On the floor of the workshop, they continued to beat him to death, he has a wound on his leg, ten centimeters deep, two centimeters in diameter.

Please note that the photos below are disturbing:

Dragojle fared even worse.

Outside, another six people, masked like those who attacked him, beat the customer Tomić Dragojlo (62) from Ljig.

They also hit him with an axe, his cheekbones were broken, his shoulder was injured, and his lung was punctured. The attackers, having destroyed two Audis, fled in three cars.

There were fifteen of them in total, the neighbors called an ambulance. Dragojle went with them, as he had serious injuries, and Jovica was transferred to the Emergency Center of Valjevska Hospital.
his car. They recorded them. Due to serious injuries, Dragojle was urgently transferred
in Belgrade, in the Clinical Center. Jovica, when they healed him and sewed up his wounds - he cracked
a bone in his hand - he was sent home, because he did not want to stay in the hospital.

Attack because of a student's daughter

Jovica, with whom we spoke on the phone due to his difficult physical and mental condition, is convinced that he was not accidentally attacked. The same evening, the same "team" demolished the cafe "Square" in the Valjevo settlement Brđani, when they injured the waitress.

He also knows why they attacked him, because of his daughter, a student at the Faculty of Dentistry, who is a permanent resident at the protests in the Medical Assistance team. He says he has never held a grudge against anyone, has no enemies, and never locks the door at home.

His wife told him that, while he was in the Emergency Center, the police went out to investigate. Two traffic officers took his statement to the hospital. And since then, nothing, and he hopes for nothing, he only prays to God that the customer Dragojla from Ljig survives.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
