It was placed in a square in the town of Omis, Croatia, and it bothered a young man there to the degree that he shattered it into pieces and threw it in the trash, writes the Croatian portal 24sata.

"Keep that on the other (Serbian) side of the Drina (River)," yelled the young man during this incident that happened on Tuesday.

The author of the plaque is art lover and collector Anand Stambuk, who participated in the Almissa Open Art art festival. As announced on the Facebook page of the festival, he planned to install the plaque on the city hall building, but did not receive permission for that.
