    Director of Hina news agency Branka Gabriela Valentić received a threatening letter with insults.  The letter is signed by a HOS-member (with ustaša salute “Za dom spremni”). During October and November, she received two letters, one threatening and insulting, and the other only with offensive content. Also, a member of Croatian Parliament said Valentić was “walking proof of why it was necessary to carry out lustration,”. After that, someone on his Facebook profile wrote that she needed “to be executed urgently”.
