A controversial rally in honor of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić is planned for September 2nd in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Srebrenica Memorial Center has expressed outrage and formally requested information from the Republika Srpska police (MUP) regarding the event's organizers. The Memorial Center seeks clarification on the planned gathering and its potential disruption of peace and remembrance efforts. This event occurs amid ongoing sensitivities surrounding the 1995 Srebrenica genocide, for which Mladić was convicted. Details surrounding the rally remain scarce, with authorities yet to respond to the Memorial Center's inquiry. The announcement has sparked condemnation and raises concerns about the glorification of a figure responsible for immense suffering. The Sarajevo Times initially reported on the planned rally and the Memorial Center’s response.
