Simo Spasic, president of the Association of Families of the Kidnapped, Killed and Missing from the Area of ​​Kosovo and Metohija, continued to send SMS messages to the journalist of “Južne vesti”, Aleksandar Stankov.

The messages are as follows: “CU***, DJILAS’S SCUMBAGS, YOU ARE ACCUSING ME TO THE POLICE AGAIN,  ALL OF YOU FROM “JUŽNE VESTI” ARE THE EVIL OF SERBIA UCK LOBBYISTS AND DJILAS’S SCUMBAGS. YOU ARE ATTACKING THE MAYOR OF NIS SOTIROVSKI BECAUSE SHE GAVE US A ROOM FOR THE MEMORIAL ROOM “KOSOVO VICTIMS-HEROES OF THE FATHERLAND-HEROES OF KOSAR” YOU THREATEN YOU ARE ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT OF SERBIA , BUT YELLOW SCUMBAGS ARE NO LONGER IN POWER NOW THERE ARE PATRIOTS IN POWER, THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU, YOU FROM THE “JUŽNE VESTI” SHOULD BE BANNED BECAUSE YOU ARE NACISTS”- writes Spasić.

A day later, unprovoked, he replaced the insults with threats again. ,,ALL OF YOU FOREIGN MERCENARIES FROM N1, NOVA SS DIVISION, DANAS, VREME, JUŽNE VESTI, SHOULD BE PUT ON STAKE BECAUSE YOU ARE DESTROYING THE STATE OF SERBIA AND GETTING RICH ON THE BONES OF SERBS”, wrote Spasić.
