A commemoration for Biljana Plavšić, former president of Republika Srpska, took place Wednesday at Bansko dvor in Banja Luka. Plavšić was previously convicted by the International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and sentenced to 11 years in prison for crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The event began with a moment of silence in her honor. The commemoration has drawn criticism due to Plavšić’s conviction as a war criminal. Details regarding the event are limited, but it was reported by Sarajevo Times. The gathering highlights ongoing sensitivities surrounding the legacy of the Bosnian War and the ICTY’s rulings.
