Red Star Belgrade supporters unveiled a tifo honoring Ratko Mladic prior to the team's 2-1 victory over Partizan Belgrade on Sunday. Mladic, a former military leader sentenced to life in prison for war crimes and genocide, died in a United Nations detention facility in August. In addition to the display, both teams observed a minute of silence for Mladic, an act documented by the club on social media with a saluting emoji. This event follows a previous disciplinary incident in which UEFA fined Red Star 90,000 euros for a similar banner displayed during a Europa League play-off against FC Viktoria Plzen. The official Twitter account of the Bosnia-Herzegovina national team responded to the club's social media posts with an obscenity. While thousands attended a public memorial for Mladic in Belgrade, his actions during the 1992-1995 conflicts in Yugoslavia remain a subject of international condemnation.
