Domagoj Zovak, satirical comedian and editor of the comedy TV show "News Bar Prime Time" aired on N1, has received a death threat via Facebook, and reported the incident to the police, Croatian police said on Friday.

Zovak had received the death threat after the latest episode of the show, which dealt with last week's anniversary of Croatia's 1995 military offensive Operation Storm. The threat came from a Facebook profile from which he had received insults in the past.

“You will get one in the back of the head too, I swear,” said the threat from a man who also sent Zovko the timetable of a public bus line that Zovko regularly uses to visit his family.

Zovko reported the threat to the police and commented on the threat.

“It's great that we have advanced so far as a society that it is considered perfectly normal that when one sees something they don't like on TV they simply send death threats to the show's author, rather than reach for their remote control. It took the effort to get us here. But, we have war veterans cancelling concerts of undesirable performers, we have state prosecutor refusing to prosecute threats because those who made them were drunk war veterans, then we have the President (Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic) saying threats are merely an expression of frustration – and finally we get to death threats being thrown around so casually. I have now reported this,” Zovak told N1.
