The President of the National Assembly of Serbia, Ana Brnabić, made a statement in front of Pionirski Park, in response to a question from a FoNet journalist, which endangered the work of the FoNet News Agency and the safety of its journalists and staff. She claimed that FoNet had called for the assassination of the President of Serbia by transmitting a statement made by lawyer Božo Prelević. In a subsequent address regarding the targeting of the agency, FoNet emphasized that they had not published the lawyer’s statement at all.
