Split Deputy Mayor Bojan Ivošević – after the text “Puljak and Ivošević in action of illegal afforestation and spreading falsehoods” was published on February 6 on the portal of the daily newspaper Slobodna Dalmacija: the City claims that this is the first tree planted in 30 years, and Bojan’s old FB page he denies” – he contacted Nikolina Lulić, the editor and journalist of the Slobodna City Rubric, by phone, and verbally attacked her harshly. According to the Slobodna Dalmacija, Ivošević told her, among other things: “I will drink your blood.”

Lulić later wrote that she and her colleagues did not feel threatened in the statement “I will drink your blood”, but “the threat that we will not be able to do our work, that we will be deprived of information and statements and that anyone will be able, without consequences, to sweep the floor with us, that’s what we were afraid of”.
