Insulting comments and threats to journalist Milojko Pantić followed the protest “Punishment for a forger”, held in Vranjska Banja, at which Pantić spoke.

Vulatovic wrote the following on Facebook: “He is the most ordinary Belgrade hooligan and kabadahija”; “A bully and a hypocrite and he is almost 80 years old”; “He dared to spit on Serbia in front of my house, for which he should be deprived of his liberty”; “Đilas and Marinikin’s errand from Belgrade” – announced on his Facebook profile Velimir Bulatović, who had previously insulted journalists for reporting on his son’s criminal act and the illegally built villa.

In the end, Bulatovic says that Pantric “must be deprived of his freedom” and “I will pay you a visit to see that little dog of yours in Belgrade.”
