Action by the authorities
Action taken by the journalists' association
- Was journalist's association informed by the journalists directly?Yes
NIN journalist Vesna Mališić was verbally threatened with the following threats: “I don’t think it is possible to find arguments in favor of femicide, but mentally beheaded Vesna Mališić, with her disgusting actions, seems to want to say that there are no impossible missions.”
The threats were published on the social network Twitter, and there is a justified suspicion that behind the account is a journalist and former lecturer at the Faculty of Media and Communication, Zoran Ćirjaković, who repeatedly insulted other journalists in the previous period.
The journalist immediately reported the threats to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for VTK and informed the NUNS association about it. The case is still on-going.
