Clashes Erupt in Stolac After Vukovar Graffiti Destroyed

Share:

Violent clashes broke out in the Bosnian city of Stolac after graffiti referencing Vukovar was destroyed. Young Croats had created the graffiti at a roundabout at the city's entrance on Saturday. Stolac, located in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, has a mixed population with significant Croatian and Bosniak communities. Vukovar, a Croatian city, remains a powerful symbol of the 1990s Yugoslav wars after it was heavily damaged during a three-month siege by Yugoslav and Serbian forces in 1991, making any references to it highly sensitive in the ethnically divided region.
