Professor and journalist Dinko Gruhonjić received a threat and a vulgar message via SMS, about which Anem informed the public, however, due to the way in which it was expressed, it is not suitable for quoting.

Given that it is an SMS message that does not fall under the jurisdiction of the prosecution for VTK, the competent Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Novi Sad was informed about the threat.
