Belgrade - Aktuálně.cz photo-journalist Ondřej Besperát was right there when the troubles broke out in front of the US embassy in Belgrade on Thursday February 21, claiming life of at least one person and causing injuries to 150.
He himself was roughed up by a group of young unruly protestors whom he photographed as they were trying to break in.
"I spoke in Czech to them to let them know I am not American, as everybody here is furious about the US at the moment. I got a few kicks and someone slapped me. I lost my cap and the camera flash," he later described the incident.
