Default Graffiti War: Battle In The Streets Over Ratko Mladic Mural

Graffiti War: Battle In The Streets Over Ratko Mladic Mural


November 10, 2021

BELGRADE -- Both sides are entrenching as a dispute escalates in the streets of the Serbian capital over a graffiti tribute to one of the Balkans' most notorious war criminals, jailed former Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic.

At stake are a three-month-old work of illegal art and the right to command -- or deny -- public attention.

But Serbia's perceived commitment to justice and reconciliation is also on the line, with the authorities being criticized for defending the man widely blamed for some of the most painful and tragic episodes of the 1990s Yugoslav wars, including Europe's worst ethnic cleansing since World War II.
