The official e-mail address of TV N1 editorial office received a threat with the following content from a person who signed himself as “Srdjan”:

“You are garbage, march (get out) from Serbia. The people will lynch you soon.”

Considering that this is not the first threat sent to the TV N1, and that the pressures and threats against the editorial office, the editor and especially individual journalists have become more frequent, the e-mail was reported to the competent authorities by N1 lawyers.

The case is still on-going.
