After appearing in the “Strength of the Mind” podcast on the Nova.rs portal, a threat was sent to KRIK editor Stevan Dojčinović. He spoke about the life path of criminals in Serbia and assessed that the prices of contract killings in Serbia have dropped drastically. Underneath a video clip from a podcast episode on TikTok, the comment “give those cheapos to rock you” was publicly posted.

The case was reported to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for the fight against high-tech crime.
