New online threats were recorded that the user of the account on social networks, Zoran Cvijanović, sent to the journalist of television N1, Sanja Kosović, with the message: “Read, the black hand has marked you, take care, friend.” Threats were reported to the public prosecutor’s office for VTK upon learning.

We remind you that the same person previously sent the same threatening messages to journalists, professors and activists, including Aleksandra Krstić, Smiljana Milinkov and Vojin Radovanović. Although earlier threats were properly reported to the competent prosecutor’s office, there is no information about the actions taken in these cases, which indicates that the perpetrator is still not sanctioned.
