That letter at the same time denoted continuation of trend of shameless attacks against journalists. Additional dangerous fact was that the same day Drago Pilsel, colleague and journalist, got the anonimous treatening letter “7Dnevno” weekly and “dnevno.hr” portal published article insinuating his alleged connection with KOS (counter-intelligence Agency of former Yugoslav Army) without any proves.
