Reports emerged on Sunday evening detailing public demonstrations in several cities within the Serb entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina that paid tribute to Ratko Mladić, following news of his death. In Zvornik, several hundred people assembled and marched through the city center, chanting the name of the convicted figure. According to local Bosnian media, attendees were observed carrying banners and the flag associated with the Army of the Republika Srpska.
Similar displays of support were reported in Višegrad, where social media platforms saw the re-sharing of video footage dating back to January 9. This date is significant as it marked the commemoration of the Day of the Republika Srpska, an event previously declared anti-constitutional by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The gatherings in Zvornik and other locations involved large numbers of people, including many young individuals, who gathered to honor Mladić.
These public displays have drawn attention to the ongoing political atmosphere regarding historical figures in the region. The reports indicate that the ceremonies and demonstrations took place following the news concerning his passing, solidifying the focus of the local assemblies.
