Belgrade Derby Sparks Sarajevo Outrage
The honoring of former Republika Srpska football club Red Star Belgrade for Ratko Mladić during a derby match in Belgrade sparked widespread anger, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Fans displayed a banner and images of Mladić and chanted his name, despite his conviction for war crimes and genocide in the Srebrenica massacre. Harsh criticism flooded social media, with the "Bosnian Football" account asserting that Mladić was responsible for killing thousands, and considering this tribute as a reaffirmation of fans' support for a convicted criminal. Although the European Union imposed fines on the club, fans continued to praise Mladić, who died in The Hague in 2026 after serving a life sentence for his role in the Srebrenica genocide, which international courts classified as an act of genocide.
