Vujović published: "Kiss" by Ratko Mladić and Aleksandar Vučić

After the announcement by the Youth Initiative for Human Rights that they would deface the mural of the legally convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić, which resulted in the prohibition of gatherings by the police, and the general chaos in society that resulted in the arrest of two activists and anti-fascists who threw eggs at the mural, Miroslav Vujović, designer and screenwriter, otherwise Zoran Kesić's collaborator on the show "24 minutes", part of the "Nujnet" team and the so-called "Supplierman" who during 2020 delighted the citizens of Serbia with his cute and comical videos, published a photomontage of a kiss by Ratko Mladić and of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, writes Nova.rs.

In an interview for that portal, Vujović explains the reasons why.

"I got the inspiration for the photo montage "Kiss" from the famous Berlin mural from the "East Side Gallery", where the Russian artist practically only illustrated an existing photograph showing the leader of East Germany Honecker and the president of the USSR Brezhnev, who was known for his third with a "fatal" kiss on the mouth", Vujović began for Nova.rs.

"It is known that the current president of Serbia passionately defended the image and work of the convicted general, while today, due to the reluctant acceptance of European principles, he cannot do this publicly but only in himself. In the second photomontage, the convicted general salutes the president, which symbolizes the great influence that the person in question still has the right-wing climate in society to cultivate, for which the retired general thanks him," he added.

He says that what saddens him the most is the fact that many young people today form right-wing views based on misinformation.

"This whole uproar over the mural seems rather sickening to me, and most of all I am saddened by the fact that many young people, who were not even born during the war in Yugoslavia, today form their right-wing views on the basis of misinformation and resurrected propaganda that should have been buried in at the end of the nineties. Instead of accepting a verdict that shifts the blame for a terrible crime to one man and his associates, they gradually want to absolve him, thereby indirectly shifting the blame to an entire nation. I don't understand why they hate Serbia. Unlike them, I I'm a patriot myself, I love this country because I've been fighting all my life against those who are regressing it and despise it from the bottom of my soul - right-wingers, corrupt politicians, criminals, mobsters, swindlers and swindlers," Vujović told Nova.rs.
