After Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić insulted and targeted N1 television journalist Mladen Savatović at a press conference on December 16, a wave of threats directed at him through social networks and comments on the portal followed.

On the instagram profile of the portal nova.rs, from the account Smart Me @SileoEtScio, another threat arrived: “You sheep without education, of course you are not colleagues! You are illiterate beef

Who puffed up, thought that the bull was in the herd. You brought in a lot of illiterate gypsies. You step directly on the nose of your clouds, the fool.”
