Journalist Nikola Krstić wrote an article in Danas in which, in a personal opinion, he criticized the inappropriate statement of SPC Patriarch Porfirio about women.

The text was followed by a bunch of threats on social networks stating that Krstić should be “hanged on a pole” and that such people “should be exterminated”.

The threats have been reported to the competent authorities.
