Dragan Bursac, journalist and columnist from Bosnia and Herzegovina, received threats on his Instagram profile.

Person registered with full name and surname sent threats to Bursac, some of which are: “I’m reconfirming my promise to you. You’ll put up with a lot of s**it in your mouth, if you knew how much you’d literally go to that “Serbian” church to pray to God.” “This is an open threat, you stinky scumbag, so you can report it wherever you want, we are just waiting for you anyway.”, “You’ll put up with s**it in your mouth some time. Very unpleasant. You will understand when we meet”. The case was reported to the Police in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia considering that the threats were sent from Serbia.
