Red Star Belgrade supporters unveil a large tifo honoring Ratko Mladić before the Serbian derby against Partizan Belgrade. Multiple outlets report that the display appears ahead of the match and is shown by fans in the stadium.
Mladić, a Bosnian Serb commander, is widely associated with atrocities during the Bosnian war, including the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys. In the coverage, some outlets add details and labels about his role and how he is described, while others focus more on the fact of the tifo itself and the timing around the derby. Yahoo Sports also notes that the club faces criticism connected to supporters’ tribute.
Across reports, there is agreement on what supporters displayed and that it occurs at the Belgrade derby context. Differences mainly relate to the amount of historical context provided and whether criticism or potential controversy is emphasized.
