In Split arrested Serbian influencer for Chetnik tattoos

A 31-year-old Serbian citizen, identified as Mark Stojković, was arrested by police in Split, Croatia, for publicly displaying tattoos associated with the Chetnik movement, including images of leaders Draža Mihailović and Momčilo Đujić, along with symbols linked to World War II-era Chetnik forces. The individual posted a photo of himself with these tattoos on his Instagram account, which reportedly caused public outrage in Croatia. Police stated that the tattoos included Cyrillic inscriptions such as 's vjerom u Boga' ('with faith in God') and 'sloboda ili smrt' ('freedom or death'), symbols historically used by Chetnik groups during WWII. Following the incident, police launched an investigation, identified the man, and arrested him in a vehicle in Split. He faces charges related to disturbing public order and promoting discriminatory behavior. The court has ordered 15 days of detention, and after the legal process concludes, he will be deported from Croatia and banned from re-entering for five years. Additionally, another Serbian national present at the scene will face similar measures.
