A threatening and disturbing message was sent to the official email address of N1 television, directly targeting our journalists and the entire media organization. The message includes the following statement:

“Traitors, if anything happens, you’re first on the list – N1 and all your journalists. Watch out when you come to Novi Sad. Greetings from a Hungarian who loves this Serbia, unlike you, who are Serbs, and Serbs have always been traitors in Serbia. That’s why there’s a saying: God forbid the Serbs ever unite.”
