Zamisli Srbiju Portal Editorial Team Threatened

Ivana Stevanovic

24 May 2006

On the night of May 12, 2006, unknown perpertrators wrote graffiti on the building which houses the offices of Lingua NGO in Kraljevo, with threatening messages such as "Death to Servants to America", "Traitors", "Long live Ratko Mladic", and the symbols of the neo-nazi organization "Stormfront".

Graffiti threatened Lingua NGO and its Zamisli Srbiju portal

The building is the home of the editorial team of the Zamisli Srbiju (Imagine Serbia) portal and project. The editor-on-duty noted the graffiti at 2:20 hours, and immediately informed Radovan Milicevic, Lingua Director and editor of Imagine Serbia Portal, as well as the Kraljevo Police Department. Ten minutes later, the Police and Milicevic arrived at the place and saw the graffiti all over the building.

Lingua reports that the two policemen acted extremely unprofessionally and with impudence, they didn't collect statements from the tenants of the nearby building, collected the personal data from the Editor and the Moderator of the Portal and returned to the Police. They said they will contact Milicevic, which they failed to do during the next day.

Having in mind that this is not the first time for the Police to react in this way, we remind the public that, after NIN weekly magazine published a pamflet (April 7, 2006) which called for a public lynching of the editorial team of Zamisli Srbiju portal, signed by certain Mr. Cirjakovic, Radovan Milicevice received at least two threats that he will be killed and his backbone broken, accompanied with countless insults.

The Police had all the time and opportunity to locate and identified the persons issuing the threats through their IP address, e-mail address or the logo of the provider. Alas, a full month after the first threats, the Police failed to take appropriate action or provide information about the ongoing investigation to Zamisli Srbiju editorial team.

The first threats to the editor date back in May 2005, after Zamisli Srbija published a number of witness accounts, photographs and documents about war crimes committed by Serbs in B&H, Croatia, Kosovo and Serbia itself.
