The head of Radio Gorazhdevci, Milic Petrovic, was verbally threatened today by the son of the employee of the local police station Momir Bulatović.

As stated in the announcement of the media, the threats came after an article was published about the suspension of D.B, for abuse of office by collecting signatures for the removal of a colleague of Albanian nationality.

“You will grit your teeth if you do not withdraw the contentious text”, said Bulatovic.

The police accompanied Bulatovic to the station, and also took the journalist’s statement.

AJK condemns the threat that directly affects the safety of journalists and calls on the law enforcement authorities to treat this case as a priority.
