The editors of Lozničke novosti received the threats that were expressed in one of the comments in the text published on the Facebook pages of Lozničke novosti and Lozničke novosti grupa, in the section Leased space: Rio Sava’s response.

Two comments attracted the most attention: March from Serbia, and Rio Tinto and Lozničke novosti. You are working against your country and your people. You are worse than Rio Tinto, they are foreigners”. The second comment that was made was much more direct: “Does anyone know where the offices are so that a visit can be organized?”

Incident events were reported to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for VTK for further investigation.
