Večernji list journalist Hassan Haidar Diab received threats and insults for texts on Islamic radicalists from BiH who went to the battlefields in Syria and Iraq. Kolega Diab has been reporting on wars in Middle East countries such as Iraq, Syria and Libya for years, and has been subjected to insults and attempts at discredit all the time, and the culmination occurred after the release of a secret document in the beginning of June with a list of names of jihadists from BiH, Kosovo and Serbia, who went to the battlefields in Syria and Iraq. In addition to the insults and threats, including the death threats that were sent to him through social networks, colleague Diab also experienced public attacks by some Bosnian-Herzegovinian media and public figures.
