Goran Borković, editor of Forum.tm portal, got threatening letter signed by “Ustashas’ snake”. Letter said that he would be ‘’gladly seen at the next church service for deceased ustashas”, that “he was photographed with honorable Ustasha Vico Ostojić” and that “they have his anthropological characteristics”. Namely, Borković reported about church service for 35 deceased ustashas’ generals and colonels along with other journalists. They were all photographed and published on Face Book page entitled “I admit, I am a Croat”. Web page is registered in Slavonski Brod. Borković decided to report the letter to the police although it was not the first one he received.
