Dinko Gruhonjić, a journalist and professor at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad, was threatened with physical violence on April 16 on the street in Novi Sad.

According to the Independent Association of Journalists of Vojvodina (NDNV), “an unknown man chauvinistically insulted Gruhonjic and threatened him with physical violence.”

The NDNV emphasized that Gruhonjić experiences daily threats on the streets of Novi Sad, and that in this case it is about a person about 40 years old who is bald, untidy shaven, wearing Bermuda shorts and a short light t-shirt with a bag in his hands.

NDNV reported this threat to the police.
