DS leader says authors of threatening graffiti "known"

He added that there are "pictures on Twitter of these activities and of the people who carried them out."

Pajtic, whose party is in power in the province but in opposition in the national assembly, said he was "not worried for himself," but that he was "really worried" after what he described as "(ruling) SNS (party) bots" threatened on social networks to "slaughter his family."

"Because I am aware of what people who are leading Serbia are capable of. Until yesterday they only wrote, 'Pajtic Thief' on the sidewalks around the school my children attend, but that was not enough," he said, and added:

"The reason for this campaign is clear - they know that unlike those who are leading Serbia I am a professional with a calling, and they are trying with all their might to force me to leave politics and dedicate myself to a career of a university professor. Or at least, to stop criticizing the catastrophically bad authorities. Because, if there were no DS, there would be no alternative. Whether somebody likes it or not, that's how it is."
