    After Hadžović published an article on portal Prometej.ba, entitled “How the mayor of Sarajevo failed the first exam: They are not Serbian criminals, but the RS Army”, he received threats via Facebook messenger from a member of the Armed Forces of BiH, Vahidin Hota. Hota sent him a message with extremely threatening content in which, with numerous curses and insults, he threatened Hadžović with “slapping” and “breaking his fingers with a hammer”.

    The Armed Forces of BiH sanctioned Hota with the disciplinary measure of one year of inability to advance in the Armed Forces.
