Journalist Nedim Sejdinovic has accused the state authorities of standing behind “a pattern for the growing number of death threats made against journalists.”  

“First, a representative of the executive branch or the legislative branch, in the Serbian parliament, puts a target on your head, calls your name, labels you an enemy of the society, a traitor, or a spy. Then, tabloids get their hands on you and after their little campaigns, you become the target of attacks,” Sejdinovic has told Belgrade daily Danas.

He stressed that in two days alone he had received more than 1,000 threats and insults, noting that “the threats were not made spontaneously.”
