POLITICIAN THREATENED JOURNALIST

MAJDANPEK, NIS, July 6, 2005 – Radio B92 and Slobodna Evropa correspondent Dejan Radulovic has received death threats. Radulovic said he has been threatened by Sasa Jovanovic, chief of the Majdanpek Democratic Party Council group. “Jovanovic called me after the story was broadcast on the radio, using very primitive language to threaten me. He said he would discuss matters differently next time we met. I’m not sure what he meant by “we will discuss things differently”. It is interesting that I had not mentioned the name of the certain person in the statement. The situation in the local municipality was described solely by the people from the Democratic Party. I have however reported the death threats to the police, just in case”, said Radulovic.
