TV N1 was heavily targeted with hate speech and calls for attacks by the conservative “Nashi” movement, which put up posters with threatening messages to TV N1 in Arandjelovac.

On the posters, the N1 logo is shown with an Ustasha cap, with the inscription “Ustasa from N1, you are not welcome in Aranđelovac!”, which targets this media in the most brutal way, with a clear message of hostility and intolerance.

Such messages are not only hate speech, but also a direct call to violence and endangering the safety of journalists
