A nationalist slogan has appeared again on a building in the strict center of Belgrade, at one of the capital’s busiest pedestrian locations.
Written in white letters on a black background, the English-language graffiti says, “The only genocide in the Balkans was against Serbs.” The slogan denies genocide and was painted at the intersection of Knez Mihailova and Obilićev Venac.
Earlier versions had been removed or covered with paint several times in recent months by municipal services and civic activists. The latest inscription again includes the recognizable signature of the right-wing organization Narodna Patrola.
Unlike previous versions, this one also includes the new abbreviations “RTK HRJ,” written in black spray paint.
