On 25th November 2015, at the police station in Milana Rakica Street, Slavisa Lekic informed the police about the threats and the people who had been following him. The police drew up an official note, but Lekic was told that the Ministry of the Interior cannot do anything about it as his complaint contains no elements of a criminal offense. The safety of the journalist Slavisa Lekic was endangered, after the broadcast on TV Pink during which the editor-in-chief of the Informer tabloid, Dragan Vucicevic, named Lekic as one of the participants in an alleged coup. Nikola Selakovic, Minister of Justice, also mentioned journalist Lekic in the same context.
