BIRN journalist Radmilo Marković received threats from Informer editor Dragan Vučićević. Commenting under Marković’s posts on the social network X, the Informer editor stated, among other things, that he “felt like finding him somewhere and strangling him like a kitten, and doing the time with pleasure.” Vučićević issued these threats along with multiple instances of hate speech and insults, as part of an evident Informer TV campaign against Radmilo Marković over the past week. A few days earlier, the editorial team of this television outlet had already targeted Marković over his comments about the actions of Red Star Belgrade fans.
