On 01.12.2017 Marija Antic, journalists of N1 TV hosted Arnaud Gouillon who worked extensively with Serbs in Kosovo to discuss his humanitarian engagement and the upcoming public discussion at the Faculty of Political Science. The journalists asked Gouillon about his previous engagement in the Les Identitaires, an extreme right organisation in France, which he joined after an organisation Unité radicale where he was active had been banned in 2002. This line of questioning caused a salve of death threats to Antic and N1 in general, reminding us that there are (death) ‘lists’ and that time will come when these ‘foreign mercenary scumbags calling themselves journalists’ will be dealt with
