"Ratko Mladic Boulevard" - reads the graffiti, which was then painted over, but not enough too hide what was previously written.

In recent months, there has been a fierce conflict between people who support Ratko Mladic and those who oppose such support.

Ratko Mladic was convicted of war crimes before the tribunal in The Hague for his role as military commander of Serbs in Bosnia during the 1990s war.

The biggest clash over a mural dedicated to Mladic was happening in Njegoseva Street, where it has been drawn and painted over several times.
