Journalist Marko Vidojković received a private message on the social media platform Facebook containing highly offensive and threatening content. The message consisted of a series of disjointed but clearly aggressive statements, including continuous insults, dehumanization, and references to physical violence and death. The sender used hate speech, derogatory metaphors, and references to graves, coffins, and bodily harm, giving the message the character of a serious threat and an attempt at intimidation.
