Journalist Vladimir Mitrić, a correspondent of Večernje novosti from Loznica, was sent a threat under the post on the Insider’s Facebook page announcing the show “Press ne pucaj”.

In the comment, Mitrić was told that “he should have been killed long ago with a hammer in the head”.

This threat is particularly serious considering that Vladimir Mitrić has been living and working under police protection for more than two decades, after he survived an assassination attempt in 2005 when a former policeman brutally attacked him with a baseball bat. The threat was reported to the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office for High-Tech Crime.
