The three female journalists Sanja Kljajic, Vanja Djuric and Milena Popovic, were first attacked on the istraga.rs website and on its Facebook page described as “Journalists who embarrassed Serbia.” The post was followed by comments with insults and threats, including open death threats. The journalists made the NDNV documentary in cooperation with BIRN Kosovo and the German ZDF Forum in 2017, but the most recent threats were not the only ones that NDNV and their partners had received because of the film.
