Lawyer  from Novi Sad Nemanja Aleksić chauvinistically and using hate speech heavily insulted and threatened journalist, university professor and NUNS program director Dinko Gruhonjić.

According to the witnesses, Aleksić approached the table where Gruhonjić was sitting with his colleagues in a restaurant in Novi Sad and insulted him with swear words and chauvinistic insults in front of numerous, visibly upset guests, with a sentence. “Do you know who I am?”

Gruhonjić will file a lawsuit and disciplinary report against lawyer Aleksić to the Vojvodina Bar Association.
