After the newspaper Danas published the text: “An Albanian in Belgrade: Who is Fahri Musliu, whom Vučić says is not his father?”, high-ranking officials in posts on social networks made accusations against Danas of attacking the family of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.

However, in addition to the insults and accusations, Minister Tomislav Momirović also sent threats on the Instagram social network: “The greatest trash! What unsung scum! You will pay for this and you will also be cleaned in these elections, the branch of Dragan Đilas for the dirtiest jobs”.

However, the case was not reported to the competent prosecutor’s office.
