N1 journalists received a threatening letter, because of the reporting from the protest in Belgrade.

“Do you have families.. you’re killing our children and grandchildren, and are unaware that if the destruction happens, your building will be the first to be blown up, and you may lose your dearest. That’s why we, the veterans, warn you not to play with anyone’s destiny because your fate is in our hands,” said the letter to N1.

Someone signed it as „Belgrade Veterans of 1999 war, “but the president of the association Zeljko Vukelic said it had nothing to do with that, adding the police should investigate the threats.

“I have no idea about it. It may be planted. What I can say is that I watch N1 since it is the most impartial TV in this biased media space,“ Vukelic said.
