Ena Pušija, a journalist at the “Vijesti iz Bijelog Polja” (“Bijelo Polje News”) web portal, reported to the police that on 8 March 2026 she noticed a message on the Instagram account “Bijelo Polje,” posted by Luka Raonić, in which the work of the portal was disparaged and insults were directed at journalists and the prosecution. The message also contained threats and calls to violence, including “You should be killed and burned.”

In her report, Pušija stated that she is the only journalist working for the portal, which is why she perceived the message as a direct threat to her personal safety. She emphasised that she feels endangered and fears for her security.
