Insider television editor Brankica Stanković has come under attack from fan groups again. Namely, on December 17, at the basketball match between Partizan and Virtus in the Euroleague, threatening and insulting chants against the journalist were again heard.

According to ANEM, in the last year and a half, at Partizan matches chanting against Brankica Stanković has become regular at least once or twice a month, while no report to the prosecutor’s office has led to apprehension, arrest and court verdict.
