Editor Šišić published a tweet regarding Bakir Izetbegović. After that, he received several threats to his safety through the FB profile of Jasmin Mulahusić, who lives in Luxembourg, against whom the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina is conducting several investigations, as well as the police in Luxembourg and the Canton of Sarajevo. One of the threats came from Semir Fuška from Travnik, in which he announced that a group would visit Šišić in order to “convince themselves of his courage” live.

Case status: The Cantonal Prosecutor’s Office of Canton Sarajevo assessed that there are no elements of criminal charges and recommended that the party (Šišić) file a lawsuit for defamation.
