Serb nationalists name street after Mladic
Serb nationalists name street after Mladic
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...9ewTgD9ED3VA00 BELGRADE, Serbia — A far-right group has put up placards in Belgrade's business district honoring Ratko Mladic, Europe's most wanted war crimes fugitive. The "Boulevard of Ratko Mladic" placards were placed over existing signs on a main street named after Serbia's first pro-democracy prime minister, Zoran Djindjic. Friday's action by the 1389 group — on the seventh anniversary of Djindjic's assassination and Mladic's 67th birthday — is another indication that Mladic still has considerable support among Serb ultranationalists. The wartime Bosnian Serb army commander is charged with genocide by a U.N. war crimes court. Djindjic was gunned down March 12, 2003, outside Serbian government headquarters by paramilitaries loyal to former President Slobodan Milosevic. (This version CORRECTS that the street is in the business district.) |
