Veran Matic received the threats from the email address [email protected]. The threatening letter was signed Nemanja Ristc. “Dear, you as an unbeliever and an associate CIA … you give yourself the right to write negatively about the arrival of the Holy Fire. As soon as it declares war, and that will be soon, you will be arrested and sentenced to the maximum punishment provided by law, which means that you will be shot by the Serbian Army on the orders of the state leaders.”
