The police are investigating threats which columnist Boris Dezulovic received after N1 published his article headlined "F*ck Vukovar" on 2 November, the ministry of interior affairs reported on Tuesday.

Earlier, the Croatian Writers Society (HDP) and the Croatian Journalists’ Association (HND) condemned institutional and non-institutional threats against Dezulovic.

“The Croatian Writers Society most strongly condemns institutional and non-institutional threats against our renowned, internationally awarded journalist and writer Boris Dezulovic, made over his article headlined ‘F*ck Vukovar’,” the HDP said last week.

The HND condemned “the public and institutional lynching” of Dezulovic over his criticism of the abuse of the plight of Vukovar in the 1991-1995 war for political purposes.

The HND calls on the state institutions to protect Dezulovic from any form of intimidation, threat or persecution like any other journalist who encourages important public discussions such as this one.
