UNS demands investigation into threats against kids’ Internet radio editor

The UNS said that an investigation should be launched into the threats made against Children’s Internet Information Radio editor in chief Jovan Keresic to determine whether they have anything to do with this job.  

A police report that the UNS had access to said that Keresic was walking down a street in his home town of Ruma on February 3 when three unidentified young men commented that his tongue should be cut.  

Keresic told the UNS that he had received threats earlier and again after the civic protests that his radio had reported on, saying that the mothers of children with special needs had joined the protest to express dissatisfaction with the way they were being treated by the local authorities.  

Keresic is president of the association of pre-school chidren’s parents which owns the Internet radio station.  

The UNS statement recalled that threats against people doing jobs providing information of public importance draws a penalty of six months to five years in prison.
