Striking graffiti in #BanjaLuka, directed at Dodik re: his shocking attacks on father of slain David Dragicevic: “Milorad, you could have stolen & lied a bit less & the ppl might have forgiven you. We will not forgive you David. And for that, you will leave your bones in prison.”
As I argue in my book, what Balkan elites fear most is popular anger and civic revolt. It toppled Gruevski in Macedonia, it destroyed Milosevic, it rocked BiH in 2014, and it may very well be what finally defeats Dodik. He knows it too. It’s why he’s militarizing his police.
This recent article provides background on David’s death & the political implications of the protests surrounding his case. Dodik’s most recent insults, directed twds his father, have made an already bad situation for his regime even worse. Elxns in Oct. balkaninsight.com/en/article/tho…
