Vijesti journalist Siniša Luković reported that his daughter received threats on the social network Instagram on December 9th, because of him and his journalistic work.

M.L. insulted the journalist and his daughter and then threatened her that Luković “will not write for a long time”, after which he sent her a photo of a refugee column of Serbs from Krajina after the operation “Storm” carried out by the Croatian army in 1995.

The Police Administration (UP) said that the Higher State Prosecutor’s Office (VDT) assessed that there are no elements of a criminal offense for which it is being prosecuted ex officio, which is why the case was returned to the police. M.L. was questioned at the premises of the Security Department (OB) Tivat, after which the files were forwarded to OB Cetinje, because M.L. was on the territory of that city at the time he sent the messages.
