In November and later in December, several reports of bombs arrived at the address of Radio Television of Serbia and Radio Belgrade, which prevents them from normal work and regular broadcasting of programs. In both cases, there was a complete evacuation of all employees.

The MUP sent its teams and determined that the reports were false.

The last threats were sent on December 14, after which a certain number of persons, citizens of Serbia, who were suspected of multiple reports, were arrested. Given that the reports sent to RTS and Radio Belgrade are related to reports sent to schools in Serbia, there is not enough information for now on whether they are the same persons and whether these persons also threatened the media.
