CroatiaOn July 11, 2026, renowned writer Vladimir Arsenijević was attacked early in the morning under Branko's Bridge in Belgrade, shortly before a planned commemoration event for the victims of the Srebrenica genocide. The event was subsequently canceled out of security concerns. Arsenijević described being assaulted by a group of 20–30 people who threatened him and defaced the area with messages. Despite the attack, he stated that it would not stop his continued work and activism. Before the incident, the coalition 'People Remember People' had placed a large ikebana installation shaped like the Flower of Srebrenica at the same location, accompanied by the inscription 'Srebrenica 8.372 – People Remember People.' The coalition, composed of non-governmental organizations, foundations, and artists, emphasized that the installation honored all victims of the genocide, their families, and the construction of peace and remembrance culture. They also urged Serbian institutions to include July 11 in the official calendar of commemorations, aiming to foster lasting peace through a culture of remembrance based on facts.
