The suspect has been charged with causing general danger and inflicting bodily harm, and has been taken before the prosecution, the local police in Pancevo said in a statement carried by the Beta angecy.

Cupic said earlier that he was in the village of Parta, near Vrsac, along with a crew from TV Kovacica, when the incident happened earlier this week. He said the man behind the wheel of the vehicle that hit him was Milan Tikic, the son of local businessman Dragan Tikic.

"I was standing on the side of the road when a black pickup truck came along, driving on the left, instead of the right side of the road, and heading in my direction. I thought he was going to exit to an access road, and realized at the last moment he was headed directly toward me. I managed to jump a little to the side, but he hit me and threw me several meters from the hood," Cupic recounted his experience.

The journalist believes the incident was an attempt on his life. He explained he has been "intensively writing investigative articles over the past month and a half" about Dragan Tikic's links with politicians.

Cupic, who fainted shortly after the incident and was held in a local hospital in Vrsac for three days for observation, said he reported the case to the police and expected it to be qualified as an attempted murder.

He told the Beta agency on Friday that he was discharged from the hospital on his own initiative.
