N1 journalist Nina Kljenjak receives death threat and misogynistic messages
The SafeJournalists network has issued a strong condemnation following a death threat and a series of misogynistic and nationalist insults directed at N1 journalist Nina Kljenjak. On September 11, 2026, Kljenjak received a postcard at the N1 newsroom containing direct threats to her safety.
The message stated, “Tvoj KRAJ se bliži. Svi na N1 TV-u platit ćete visoku cijenu, a posebno vaš vođa TIHIRAT,” which appears to be a derogatory play on the name of her former editor-in-chief, Tihomir Ladišić. The communication also included various degrading insults and threats against other N1 colleagues.
SafeJournalists has called upon Croatian authorities to immediately identify and prosecute the individual responsible. The network emphasized that such attacks on journalists are attacks on democracy and fundamental human rights, creating an atmosphere of fear that threatens media freedom.
