Domagoj Zovak received death threat after the episode of his show that addressed recent Day of remembrance of military action Oluja. The threat was published at Facebook and said: ”You will get the bullet to the back of your head too, I swear”. The man who published the threat published also the bus timetable our colleague Zovak has been using to visit his family for years. The CJA finds that to be evidence showing the threat is serious.
