    Milica Ivanovic wrote an article about a couple and difficult conditions in which they live with their child and at the end of the text added that “remember their participation in the beating of a young man from Bojnik”. After that a certain Alesandar S. threatened her in chat on Facebook. As can be seen from their correspondence, he told her that he was “in the last part of the article mentioned,” but she did not inform him about it, and then he said, “Ask colleague from Kurir how he passed and with him he spoke.” He promised to her that he will “with two calls to close the building where she works,” and that “Director of the Belgrade Blic” will call her. Then he again “warned” her to “watch what she’s doing,” that he will “destroy her life,” and she will “lose her job if she continues in that way.”
