Journalist Darko Mitrovic received threats via Instagram. The first threat received on 29 August and, along with United Media, the owner of the Nova S channel on which his show “Razgibanje” broadcast, filed a complaint with the MUP department of high-tech crime. Thereafter, on September 10, he received a second threat. Mitrovic stated that both threats were addressed to him by the same person who, among other things, told him: “we will meet in the darkness”.
