On April 9, 2025, a user of the social network X with the handle @Sandokan7206892 issued serious threats directed at employees of media outlets operating under United Media, including N1, Nova.rs, and Danas. In a public comment, the user stated:

“Just three more sleeps and we’ll drive the self-hating scum out of @Belgrade. Personally, I’m not in favor of smashing @n1srbija @novarsonline @danas, but I see that many people are. So many are signing up and mobilizing on their own that I couldn’t believe it—young and old alike. Pitchforks and sickles, broooooo.”

This comment was posted just a few days after the broadcast of the documentary “The Evil Era” on nationally aired television channels, in which journalists from the aforementioned media outlets were targeted.
