Beta Agency editor Dragan Janjic has been targeted in long period of time by individuals who in various ways threaten, pressured, and targeted him in the public with serious insults and accusations. The latest threat was made on Covid 19 Serbia’s Facebook page, which reported on March 26 that it would publish every day a picture of a journalist who maliciously and truthfully reports to Serbian citizens, and that day, Dragan Janjic’s picture, name and surname were posted. Given that there are clear doubts about the persecution of journalists, notifications and expectations regarding further investigations and actions have been communicated to the competent authorities.
