  • Action by the authorities

  • Police action
    Journalist Andriana Baćurin initially tried to report the case at the Karlovac Police Station, but the policewoman who attended to her did not consider the inscription serious and told her there were no grounds for a report. When Andriana expressed concern that something worse could happen in the future, the policewoman inappropriately responded that "a bomb could fall on the station, so what then?" Later, the police contacted her again and asked her to return. This time, their approach was more professional – they thoroughly questioned her, took photos of the inscription, and collected screenshots from the journalists' group where she had shared her concerns.
