After posting a photo with two migrants, Vanja Stokić, editor-in-chief of the E-trafika portal, received a message on her Facebook profile from a person named Goran Živanović, in which he threatened to “decapitate” not only migrants, but also “all the pastors who welcome them.”
Police in Banja Luka arrested Zivanovic the next day. He was released after the hearing and the case was handed over to the Banja Luka District Prosecutor’s Office for further proceedings.
