After announcing that she had been banned from presenting her book “Huzur” at the festival in Citluk (Herzegovina), writer and journalist Martina Mlinarevic received a series of threatening hate messages through social networks.

The Free Media Help Line requested the Federal Police Directorate, the MUP of the West Herzegovina Canton (ZHK) and the ZHK Cantonal Prosecutor’s Office to investigate the case. The FUP inspector contacted the coordinator of the FMHL and they are working together on the case.
