Journalists Nenad Kulačin and Marko Vidojković received threats in the comments on the YouTube page of the show “Good, Bad, Zao”.

One of the posted comments contains very explicit threats and the journalists are told that they will be “shaved dry to whine better”, and after that they are threatened with “putting them in a meat grinder or making soapy water” from the journalists.

The threats are reporting to the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office for High-Tech Crime.
