RTCG journalist Zoran Leković announced on his Facebook profile that high-ranking DPS official from Bar Božidar Janković sent him death threats. Janković posted a comment on the social network X with the following content: “This nit of this Leković should be trampled! Because until three years ago this louse was just a louse and nothing else! But a small louse that now thinks it’s important!”

As announced by the Police Administration, Janković was interrogated and a misdemeanor charge was filed against him due to offenses under Articles 7 and 8 of the Law on Public Order and Peace.
