New threats were sent to fellow journalists and employees of the Slavko Curuvija Foundation and their Cenzolovka portal by a person from a Facebook account that we have already reported because of the threat in the comment: “And why does Ćuruvija worry you, be careful, there are still golden hands on Easter”.

This time, the person behind this account threatened again and wrote the following:

“The hands became gilded with what he rattled to Ćuruvija”.

The threats were again forwarded to the competent Special Prosecutor’s Office for VTK.
