CroatiaA 31-year-old Polish man, Bartlomiej (Bartek) Wlodzimierz Krakowiak, was arrested after allegedly defiling several religious statues in Međugorje and setting fire to the external altar of the Church of St. Jacob. The incident occurred early Tuesday, during which he painted swear words on religious monuments and posted a provocative message criticizing individuals named in the statement. He was detained by locals before being handed over to police. The investigation has been taken up by the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with charges including inciting hatred and damaging religious sites. Meanwhile, the altar and monuments were restored, and worshippers returned to prayers without changes to the liturgy. The filmmaker Janek Sobierajski, who directed the religious documentary film 'Pozvani 2', in which Krakowiak played himself, expressed concern over the incident, noting that Krakowiak had struggled with severe mental health issues for some time and may have required psychiatric care.
