Cenzolovka journalist Uglješa Bokić received a threat on the Facebook on December 28, 2023 to journalist Uglješa Bokić, which, due to the way it was written, could refer to the editorial office of Cenzolovka, for which Bokić writes.

It’s about a threat from a certain person from Novi Sad who is on the Cenzolovka page on the social network Facebook, under the post related to the text by Uglješa Bokić, “A small guide for reporters from the protest: How to protect sensitive data from your phone if the police find you” , wrote

“they should take you to the basement and kill the God in you”, and later “all of you should be killed”.

To the statement of another commentator that he does not understand who he would kill, person who threatened replied with “journalists who support the destruction of state property and all leftists in Serbia by summary procedure”.

The threat was reported to the competent Special Public Prosecutor’s Office for VTK.
