Commissioner for Protection of Equality Brankica Jankovic strongly condemns insulting of children of the President of Serbia. Any kind of insults, threats and belittling are impermissible on any grounds and  must not become a pattern of everyday communication in public space, especially on social networks where such speech has gone beyond all limits during the last weeks.

Political and every other disagreement cannot be an alibi for insults of threats aimed to carriers of public functions and their family members, nor to any citizen of the Republic of Serbia. It’s about time to stop with this kind of speech and all relevant authorities should undertake measures within their competencies, Commissioner concludes.
