Journalist Gabrijela Radanović received new threats from Dražen Travaš, a person who has been harassing her for several years, on 29 June 2026. In a Facebook post, Travaš wrote that he would “eat her,” and when another user asked what the journalist had done to him, he replied: “Nothing compared to what I’ll do to her.”

The threat was reported to the police, and the Facebook post was subsequently removed. However, another post remains on Travaš’s Facebook profile in which he published a photograph of the journalist and, among other things, wrote: “The one who sued me, and I’ll strip her to the bone, just like Dektiva.”

Criminal proceedings against Travaš are already underway and a first-instance court judgment recently found him guilty of a criminal offence against honour and reputation. Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, the harassment has not ceased.
