After the publication of the article “The province seeks the dismissal of the school director in Vrdnik, the parents of the pupils are desperate because the minister is not responding”, the school director Goran Zugic first called the newsroom, then sent an e-mail to the author of the text stating that he will make a documentary about the journalist and her reporting and nothing will stop him. Three days after that, the brother of the director sent a message to the Radio 021 via Facebook inbox and again stated that he will make a documentary about “lies”. That same evening, Nedeljko Zugic called the newsroom and got a editor of shift on the phone. He threatened her and said that he will “kill them all”.
