Zorica Bulatovic, journalist of “Dnevne novine”, submitted a report to the Police, for the threat of the former chief administrative inspector Dragica Andjelic, who was dissatisfied with her writing.
Bulatovic explained in the statement that she had received a call from the person who presented itself as Dragica Andjelic, who threatened the correspondent of Dnevne novine from Kolasin, and that is the reason she contacted the police.
Bulatovic said that Andjelic wasn’t satisfied with the text, that is, the response of the working body “For Law and Justice”, which stated that Andjelic was dismissed because she didn’t take constitutional measures and the legal competences for the protection of local government employees and the Protection and Rescue Service in Kolasin.
She points out that Andjelic told her that “she would pay” for the published text, claiming that she was openly threatened.
Bulatovic said in the statement to the Police administration that she was afraid for her safety, inviting the competent institutions to take certain measures in order to punish the actors.
