Vidic seeks answers after KRIK reports alleged Kokeza-linked threats
On June 30, N1 and Danas relay KRIK's publication of 2020 Sky messages: according to those messages, former FSS president Slavisa Kokeza allegedly sought people to intimidate and physically attack Nemanja Vidic after his public criticism of Serbian football leadership. Vidic said he was disappointed that institutions had not told him his life was threatened and asked whether he is still in danger; Vucic replied that if a crime was committed the state will deal with it, while lawyer Borivoje Borovic told Danas/N1 that he had expected a response from the organized-crime prosecutor.

(Od pretnji Vidiću do veza sa navijačima: Šta otkrivaju Kokezine Skaj poruke)
N1 writes that Sky messages published by KRIK indicate former FSS president Slavisa Kokeza allegedly tried to organize threats and a physical attack against Nemanja Vidic after criticism of the football association leadership in 2020. The article includes Vidic's reaction, asking whether he remains in danger and why institutions did not warn him, and Aleksandar Vucic's response that if a criminal act was committed the state will deal with it. N1 also cites KRIK journalist Bojana Jovanovic's assessment that the messages show links among politics, football leadership, and fan groups.

Vidic responds after KRIK reports that Kokeza wanted to endanger his safety
(„Ovo je priča o sistemu koji dozvoljava da kritika postane pretnja po život“: Vidić se oglasio nakon saznanja KRIK-a da je Slaviša Kokeza želeo da mu ugrozi bezbednost)
Danas reports that Nemanja Vidic responded after KRIK's publication saying that former FSS president and prominent SNS member Slavisa Kokeza allegedly used Sky messages to engage criminals to threaten and physically attack Vidic. Danas quotes Vidic's assessment that this is a story about a system where criticism can become a threat to life and records his question to institutions about whether he is still in danger.

Borovic: I expected a TOK response; we will again have a case in which top authorities protect Kokeza
(Borović: Očekivao sam reakciju TOK-a, opet ćemo imati predmet u kome će Kokezu da zaštiti vrh vlasti)
Danas carries lawyer Borivoje Borovic's comment to N1: after KRIK's claims about Slavisa Kokeza's messages, he expected a response from the Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime. Borovic argues that the lack of an immediate response shows Kokeza will again be protected by top authorities; this is the lawyer's assessment, not an institutional decision.
