OHR calls for sanctions over Chetnik gathering in Višegrad

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - The OHR condemned today's gathering of the Ravna Gora Chetnik movement in Višegrad and called on the competent institutions to sanction those responsible.

"The OHR condemns today's shameful events in Višegrad. The competent institutions must investigate this and take appropriate actions against those responsible for hate speech. Today's events in Višegrad have no place in BiH society; reconciliation is the only path to the future," was posted on the official OHR Twitter account.

Members of the Ravna Gora Chetnik movement in Višegrad marked the anniversary of the arrest of Chetnik general and World War II war criminal Dragoljub Draža Mihailović.

The Chetniks lined up in the center of Višegrad on Sunday morning, from where the song "There will be hell again and the bloody Drina, here come the Chetniks from the Serbian mountains" was heard. The U.S. and British embassies in BiH also reacted, calling on institutions to "take the necessary steps, address these threats, and hold accountable."
