On November 24, TV N1 journalist Mladen Savatović received a direct threat in a message on the X social network. The message was written as a comment within Mladen’s account, and the journalist’s account was clearly marked in the message, indicating that the comment was addressed directly to him.

According to the information we have, the same person made another threat before that, and the threat was removed by the X Network as part of the regulation of national content on the network. The author of the threat himself published a new threatening post, which below also shows a screenshot of the removed comment on which the initial threat is written. The comment reads:

“The truth of Savatović hurt. Puppy, you’ll be on a leash sometime.”

And below you can see the initial threat that was removed, and whose content is as follows:

“He is not aware of the kind of poetry you will be beaten somewhere because of your faggot and everything you have done so far and are still doing. Someone will make you beautiful. If I were doing that, I would go with your bodyguards. Be careful mate, you’re overdoing it.”

In agreement with NUNS, the threat was reported to the special public prosecution for VTK.
