  • Decades after the Balkan wars, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina are still home to public memorials honoring leaders convicted of war crimes, but it's the activists who protest against those displays who face repercussions. Bosnian law forbids the "glorification" of war criminals, but that is rarely enforced, and both countries are home to public plaques and murals honoring leaders convicted of war crimes.

    I agree 100% with the defacing of this memorial. Obviously, those who put it their did so with intent. It certainly wasn't to endear the local population

    I talked with war survivors from Bosnia 🇧🇦 and even worked as a school assistant teacher with the children of the surviving children of that war. That's why I can definitely understand why they highly dislike Mladić and his friends. Rest in peace and power ❤

      And why they dislike Bosnian Serb and other citizens of Bosnia of nonislamic fate? They failed in stealing Yugoslavia and Europe?

    Those men were sentenced for war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity by international tribunals and Serbia is erecting memorials to them? It should be sanctioned for that.

    RFE, you needn't tell us in Europe how horrible Vučić's Serbia is; we have known this for years. Tell that to the apparently clueless US government. Serbia seems to be forgiven for everything and some in the US continue to push it into the European Union, where it has absolutely nothing to do.

      ​@@user-irj1nxa3cof2z The Serbian government and their loyalist followers have eagerly forgotten the attacks by Serbian forces on the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) and UN safe areas, from where they took UN soldiers hostages and gathered the people whom the UN were protecting for slaughter.
      You seem to forget Operation Deliberate Force, wherein the United Nations, of which 184 countries are members of, all agreed to ask NATO for air support.
      And I will remind you that this was the first time NATO forces had ever used air-to-ground attacks against anyone, and the first time the United Nations requested outside help.

      The world, the United Nations, and 184 countries, lost patience. That's what happens when you keep UN soldiers hostage for years on end and film them handcuffed to telephone poles to sleep throughout the cold rainy nights.
      The entire world agreed that Serbia's massacres had to be stopped by force, as words did not discourage them over the course of six years.
