According to unofficial information, Mario Živković, an employee of the city administration, threatened via his Facebook profile first the journalist of Večernji list in Zadar, Fran Šarić, and then the chief epidemiologist of the Zadar Public Health Institute, Dr. Alan Medić. After the threats addressed to Šarić, Živković was issued precautionary measures, but as he continued with the threats this time, according to Dr. Medić, the police arrested Živković and took him to the state attorney for questioning. After a discussion with the investigating judge, the state attorney’s proposal was accepted to determine the measure of pre-trial detention for up to one month so that he could not repeat the crime.
