Mid-December 2012 found Kosovo 2.0 preparing for the launch its fourth edition of the magazine on Sex. The event was designed as a showcase of sex and sexuality presented through films, theatre, talks and a closing party called Love Hotel. This approach elicited a lot of reaction especially among the Muslim religious groups. Therefore, prior to the Kosovo 2.0 launch a viral campaign filled with disinformation against the event was initiated; threatening the organizers with protests and tagging the event as immoral. The language of hate used against the magazine and Kosovo 2.0 resulted with two very serious violent incidents, which signify the first attack on the secularity of the youngest country in Europe-Kosovo.
