**Controversial Event Held in Banja Luka**
A ceremonial parade was held in the city of Banja Luka on Thursday to mark “The Day of Republika Srpska”. This event is highly disputed due to its discriminatory nature. Despite this, approximately 3,000 people attended the event.
**Flags with War Criminals’ Images Shown**
Citizens waved tricolor flags during the parade. However, photos and videos from the event showed some flags bearing images of war criminals Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic. These individuals were responsible for serious crimes committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
**Key Figures Attend**
The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, did not attend due to health reasons. But other notable figures were present, including Zeljka Cvijanovic, a member of the BiH Presidency, and Nenad Stevandic, the President of RS National Assembly.
**International Guests**
A delegation from Serbia led by Aleksandar Vulin was also in attendance. Serbian Patriarch Porfirije and the Russian Federation’s Ambassador to BiH Igor Kalabuhov were among other guests.
**Civil Sector and “Night Wolves” Present**
The civil sector contingent included students, pupils, and veterans from organizations that played a key role in creating and defending RS. The notorious pro-Russian organization “Night Wolves” was also present at the celebration.
