After the publication of a edited video in which statements by Dink Gruhonjić from a rally in Dubrovnik were taken out of context, an escalation of insults and threats on social networks, and even physical threats, began. One of the threats received was this one from Facebook:

“Take care! Take care of your family or move as far away as possible. Because the night is a miracle, anything can happen to you. We will break every bone in your body.”

Therefore, a report was filed with the Special Prosecutor’s Office for the Crime Suppression Division for the offense of endangering security under Art. 138, paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code
