    In the past few days, Dino Jahic and his colleagues  from Center for Investigative Journalism of Serbia have been constantly exposed to insults that, at one moment, turned into serious death threats. Apart from negative comments, vulgar insults, the messages also contain hate speech regarding the name and origin of colleague Jahić, as well as explicit death threats, e.g. that it should be made  a hole in his skull.

    This situation in which is Dino Jahic now is a direct consequence of the statements of issued by the president of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, who attacked the editor-in-chief of CINS on August 21, accusing him of leading the center, which, with the financial support of international organizations, demolishes the political structures in the region, without providing any evidence for his dangerous allegations.
