As a guest on the Happy TV morning program on 23 November 2020, Vojislav Šešelj, a convicted war criminal, stated the following: "Katarina just asked me why I came here with a mask. If Katarina was alone on the show, I would have come without a mask, but since you are here Marić, you represent a grave danger because you hang out with Jelena Milić a lot…She carries a whole zoo with her… Marić endeavors to tame NATO crabs.
