Hundreds of people marched through the streets of Zvornik on Thursday night, chanting the name of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić after his death in custody at the age of 85. Participants, including many young men, clapped and shouted “Ratko Mladić!” in unison, glorifying the former Bosnian Serb military general responsible for some of Europe’s worst atrocities since World War II. The tribute took place in the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity, where Mladić’s legacy remains a cult figure .
Bosniak politician Camil Durakovic, vice president of Republika Srpska, condemned the march in a written reaction, stating, “This is Zvornik, the city of the mass graves of my people” .
A separate gathering has been announced for September 2 in Srebrenica, the site of the 1995 genocide carried out by Mladić’s Army of Republika Srpska. The invitation, addressed to “Serbian Srebrenica,” echoes a term Mladić used in a 1995 video. The event has been widely criticized as a provocation, given the city’s history .
Mladić died in a Hague prison on Thursday. In the days following his death, similar gatherings were held in multiple cities across Republika Srpska and Serbia .
