Journalists of the weekly Radar have received threats through comments posted on their website, constituting a direct threat to their safety and an attempt to intimidate the editorial staff.

A person registered under the nickname “tajfun” posted a threatening message below Milan Ćulibrk’s article “Six Times More Money for Rafales Than for All Capital Investments”, which, along with hate speech and the crudest insults, contains statements that undoubtedly include elements of a threat of violence: “…I’ll f*** your Ustaša mother, Ćulibrk’s too, you Ustaša scum — we’ll wipe you out so that such scum never sprouts again. We’ll wipe you out, be sure of it; it won’t be long before that happens.”
