A direct threat was sent on the Sportklub portal via a comment by a user named Boško, with the following content: “To Nikola Stamenić, I have two sons and a daughter, I personally swear to you that you will not live long for these provocations and spreading hatred, I will screw up your life. Take this very seriously. I will have nothing from this, but my children will also have some new generations who will live as happily as possible after us without lies, tensions and spreading hatred. People like you, the various Pantićs and Tegeltijas have no place on this earth!”

The threats were reported to the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office for High-Tech Crime.
