Outbreak of nationalism in Marrakech: Union and Partisan supporters together for a war criminal

During a football match between Red Star Belgrade and Partizan at the Marakana stadium in Belgrade, fans displayed a large photo of war criminal Ratko Mladić and chanted 'Pravac Potočari' (Against Potočari), referencing his wartime orders and the events leading to the Srebrenica genocide. The Mothers of Srebrenica strongly condemned the chants, calling them a message of hatred, a call to genocide, and an attempt to glorify a convicted war criminal. They emphasized that such expressions align with paramilitary ideology and warned that Potočari would no longer allow such ideologies. The incident occurred during events commemorating Mladić’s funeral in Belgrade, which included military honors, further intensifying regional reactions. The OSCE also criticized the broadcast of the event on RTAR (Radio Television Serbia), suggesting it contributed to the spread of controversial narratives.
