The doctor's scandalous post about Ratko Mladic is calling for her immediate resignation.

A nurse employed at the Tomislavgrad Health Center posted a photo of war criminal Radko Mladić on social media along with a message of gratitude, sparking strong public reactions. The incident led to demands for her immediate dismissal from the HDZ-BIH Tomislavgrad municipal committee, which accused her actions of being a deep insult to victims of the Homeland War and defenders, as well as an attack on the dignity of patients and citizens who fund the public health institution. The head of the health center, Ivanka Živković, defended the institution’s stance against promoting hatred, intolerance, or glorification of war crimes, while emphasizing that employees’ private opinions outside work hours are not under institutional control. She stated that the administration would act according to law and internal regulations to determine appropriate measures. Although there is no confirmation yet that the employee’s employment has ended, the case raises broader questions about the boundaries between personal expression and institutional responsibility, especially regarding content related to war crimes and their perpetrators.

The doctor's announcement about Ratko Mladic has caused sharp reactions:

A nurse employed at the Tomislavgrad Health House in Bosnia and Herzegovina posted a photograph of Ratomir Mladić, a war criminal sentenced to life imprisonment, online along with a message of gratitude. This action sparked strong public reactions and criticism, particularly from the local HDZ BiH municipal committee, which demanded the nurse's immediate dismissal and called for accountability from the health house management. They argued that such behavior deeply insults victims of the Homeland War and Croatian defenders, as well as undermining the dignity of patients and citizens who fund the institution. The head of the health house, Ivanka Živković, stated that the facility strongly condemns any actions promoting hatred, intolerance, or glorification of war crimes, but emphasized that employers cannot legally control employees' private expressions outside work hours. The administration said they would act swiftly according to the law, internal policies, and the health house statute to investigate the incident.

Bias read (Center): The article presents multiple perspectives without overtly favoring one side. It includes statements from both critics of the nurse's actions and the health house management, providing balanced coverage of the controversy surrounding the posting of a war criminal's image by a public employee.
