Double Standards of the Ministry of Interior: Who threatened N1 is still unknown after three and a half months, while the sender of the letter to Dačić was identified within a day.

A letter, addressed partly in Latin script and partly in Cyrillic, arrived at the editorial office of N1 from Post Office 11118, located at Maksim Gorky Street 89 in Belgrade. The author, who describes himself as an “honest Serbian patriot,” makes a “request” for us to stop "with the anti-Serbian witch hunt and inciting propaganda, as it offends the patriotic feelings of the Serbian people."

"If you feel uncomfortable here or feel unhappy being born as Serbs (the patriot capitalized the P, author’s note) and not as some 'gifted' ones, you are free to change your name, surname, residence, religion, etc.," it states.

The letter, full of grammatical and spelling mistakes, also makes a comparison to the attack on Charlie Hebdo.

"If you remember, the 'humorous satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo made fun of the feelings of Muslim believers in 2015."

As Rade Šerbedžija says in one of his recitations,

"What was your name dear neighbor,

Ema, Selma, Amila, Adela and

has anything changed in your

eyes, face, and belly

it could also be said like this

what was your name Danica, Žaklina, Maja, Nataša, Ivana…

and will anything change your eyes, face, and belly…

patriotic regards."

On the same day the letter arrived, police forensic teams came to our television station and took it. However, even three and a half months later, it is still unclear who threatened the N1 journalists.

The Permanent Working Group for the Safety of Journalists informed N1 that as of September, according to the report from the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office, interviews were conducted with five journalists representing TV N1, that an order was issued for the creation of a DNA profile from the provided samples, which are part of the letter that arrived at the television's editorial office, and that a police report is awaited regarding the given order for obtaining video recordings to determine the identity of the person who sent the letter. They also added that a report from the NCKF regarding the examination of the disputed biological traces was submitted.

The editorial office of the N1 portal requested information regarding this case from the competent prosecutor's office twice this week, but we did not receive a response.

The promptness with which state institutions can illuminate similar cases, if there is a will to do so, is demonstrated by the example of a letter with three bullets that arrived at the Government of Serbia for Minister of Internal Affairs Ivica Dačić on August 28, 2025.

Just a day later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs announced that it was determined that the mentioned shipment was delivered on August 26, 2025, at the Post Office branch in Požarevac, and that the police identified and located the individual who delivered the shipment.

“Further work on establishing all circumstances of the event is ongoing. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is taking all legally prescribed measures and actions to protect the safety of citizens and institutions of the Republic of Serbia,” they stated on that occasion.
