Serbia’s Commissioner for the Protection of Equality has issued a recommendation to Belgrade Mayor Aleksandar Šapić regarding a social media post concerning Ratko Mladić. The Commissioner advised Šapić to remove content deemed to incite hatred and division within society. This action follows Šapić’s publication about the convicted war criminal. The Youth Initiative for Human Rights has hailed the recommendation as a historic first, signifying Serbia’s acknowledgement of the Hague Tribunal’s verdict against Mladić. This represents a potential shift in how Serbia addresses the legacy of the Bosnian War. The recommendation pressures Šapić to align with international legal standards and promote social cohesion. It marks a rare instance of Serbian authorities directly addressing potentially inflammatory rhetoric related to figures indicted for war crimes.
