Bosnia’s Security Minister Fahrudin Radoncic confirmed earlier on Monday that the Chief Prosecutor Gordana Tadic had received serious threats to her life, which is why he requested that the director of police Coordination Body Mirsad Vilic ensures her additional police protection.

Radoncic said that life in a country that does not sanction threats of the Chief Prosecutor and her family would be impossible.
