From the account “Auto-chauvinism watch of the annulled Džender Vukadinović” on Twitter, serious threats were made to journalists.

In two tweets during the evening of October 20, the author wrote that “it is hard for him to imagine that there is a man who, no matter how disgusting and miserable, would like to rape Jovana Gligorijevic”, and only a few minutes before that he wrote that ” he wants all the worst to Jovana Gligorijevic, Snezana Chongradin, Dubravka Stojanovic and Jelena Lalatovic, except rape and acid in the face. ”

A person from this account has been attacking several journalists in various ways for a long time, especially the journalist Jovana Gligorijević, who has been threatened and harassed for years.
