Journalist and now former editor of our portal, Ana Mihajlovski, received threats from a person brought in connection with the activities of the portal that the journalist founded and managed as editor.

Threats were most likely followed by other persons as well, after the journalist’s announcement that she was leaving the editing and activities of the portal itself.

After several pressures and received blackmail, the journalist left the management of the portal and transferred the ownership, and before and after that she received several threatening messages.

No cases have been reported yet.
