On Sunday, 19th of February, at approximately 16.35, a group of young men was passing by our office windows, when one of them vandalized our windows by spraying them with black can paint. Luckily, no one was injured during the attack. We demand that the authorities immediately investigate and process of the culprit, to stop the evident vandalism of far-right extremist groups and the demolition of the walls and facades of Belgrade, as well as other cities across the country. Futhermore we urge the authorities to prosecute the individuals who have continously, particularly in the last 24 hours, sent severe threats to activists and civilians on social media (publicly and privately).
