On April 10, Serbian portal Direktno.rs received an email with death threat message in it . The threat was reported to the prosecution in charge and to the police, which, according to the editor and journalist of Direktno.rs Igor Velimirovic, acted urgently. Direktno.rs members consider death threats as the result of insults and targeting by the regime media, which are campaigning heavily against portal Direktno.rs, its editor and journalists.
