Hot Mostar Spring: Memorial stone thrown into the river!

Yesterday around 5 a.m., a group of vandals pushed the memorial stone 'Don't Forget '93' from the Old Bridge and threw it into the Neretva River.

That wasn't enough for them, so they went around outdoor coffee shops and restaurants destroying everything they came across in their destruction spree.

The Ministry of Interior of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton was informed about the series of incidents and an investigation is underway. It is well known in Mostar that this is the work of 'Ultras', fans of the football team Zrinjski, who are allegedly paid by HDZ BiH to raise interethnic tensions.

Yesterday afternoon, the stone was recovered from the river and reinstalled where it belongs.

Three days ago, the same fans of Zrinjski, as they identified themselves on a video uploaded to YouTube, drew the emblem of Herceg-Bosna on Orlac hill above Mostar.

Since talks about elections and the future governance of Mostar began, tensions in the city on the Neretva River have continued to rise.
