The journalist and editor of the A1 – net portal and the director of the Media Center in Novi Pazar, Enes Radetinec, received very serious threats.
Radetinac reported to the police that on Sunday, from an unknown number, he received a threatening message in which he was told that “he should work honestly, raise honest people, which will be good for his health, and otherwise he will not be able to hold a microphone or hugs his wife”.
After receiving the report by Radetinac directly, the Ministry of the Interior reacted efficiently and after less than 48 hours determined the identity of the person, and after that arrested the same person for endangering the safety of journalists.
In following days Radetinac received messages from different people about changing his statement. The case is still on-going.
