Serbian singer Jelena Karleuša has faced a series of public disputes and personal safety issues. In late October, a scheduled performance at the Teatro Club in Essen, Germany, was cancelled. Club management alleged the decision followed Karleuša’s comments which “disparaged students,” while Karleuša countered that the cancellation was due to her remarks regarding the display of Palestinian flags on Serbian state buildings.

Following these events, Karleuša reported receiving numerous death threats during the Serbian election night on October 25. She stated that her phone number and home address were made public, forcing her to secure her villa with metal shutters to protect herself and her minor daughter. Karleuša expressed frustration that public institutions have not reacted to these threats.
