After the Ministry of the Interior invited Vranje News journalist Milena Dimić to an informative conversation a week earlier, and then they let her go home with an apology and with the explanation that she was called to the police by mistake (there is an official note about it), members of Vranje police appeared early again on the morning of December 4 at the door of the private apartment of Dejan Dimić and Milena Dimić, editor and journalist of the Vranje News editorial office.

The journalist was then warned by the police that she should not appear at the environmental protest scheduled for Saturday at 1.45 pm in Vranje, and that if she did not follow their advice, she could receive criminal charges.
