 The editorial board of Nacional reacted by accusing the police of Pukanić's death by failure to provide police protection.They stated that Pukanić's round-the-clock protection by two police officers was lifted on August 1 not by Pukanić's request in his right mind, but under a pressure from the police.Pukanić allegedly received two death threats after the end of the protection and promptly forwarded them to the police, but they failed to act upon them.
