A threatening message was sent to the editorial staff of the Inđija-based portal In Medija in a comment on the website.

The message states: “I’m pumping slaughtered children for you, you scumbags. A gang of insolent people and hooligans. There will be a civil war and God willing, my hands will be bloody.”

It is suspected that the same person had also threatened journalists from Maglocistač in Subotica in the previous days, and that he had already made several insults and threats in previous periods.

The threats were reported to the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office for High-Tech Crime.
