News From a news agency Context piece
  • Graffiti in English appeared on a commercial building at the entrance to Belgrade’s Knez Mihailova pedestrian street, claiming that the only genocide in the Balkans was committed against Serbs.
  • The same slogan appeared on the wall several months ago, but the latest version carries the People’s Patrol signature and the initials “RTK HRJ,” referring to Ratko Mladić as a hero.

A white wall at the entrance to Knez Mihailova, Belgrade’s central pedestrian street, now carries a black English-language slogan declaring: “The Only Genocide in the Balkans was Against the Serbs.”

The graffiti appeared on the entrance to a commercial building in the heart of the Serbian capital. The same message had been painted on the wall several months earlier.

This time, however, the inscription includes the signature of the right-wing organization People’s Patrol, or Narodna Patrola. It also bears the initials “RTK HRJ,” meaning “Ratko Mladić Hero.”
