Police in Sarajevo detained several persons on Thursday who allegedly threatened journalists working for the ‘Dnevni Avaz’ newspaper.

The newspaper said in a statement that “certain people close to the criminal milieu in Sarajevo” appeared at the editorial office on Wednesday, “dissatisfied with the newspaper's reporting” on certain legal operations against them.

The same people appeared at the editorial office again on Thursday and were detained, the paper said, thanking the Sarajevo Canton Interior Ministry for its swift response.
