During the night of June 21, 2025, a car owned by David Gruhonjić, the son of a professor at the University of Novi Sad, program director of NDNV and journalist Dink Gruhonjić, was vandalized.

Heavy damage to the vehicle represents another in a series of security threats that cannot be viewed separately from the long-standing, organized campaign of persecution to which Dinko Gruhonjić is exposed because of his journalistic, academic and public involvement.

The windows and mirrors and other parts of the car were destroyed. The case was reported to the Novi Sad police.
