The president of the opposition party People's Front (NF) from the Bosnian-Herzegovinian entity Republika Srpska, Jelena Trivić, received open death threats in comments on her post about Marko Perković Thompson's concert in Široki Brijeg, in the West Herzegovina Canton of the Federation of BiH.
Trivić wrote that Ustasha chants of "Ready for the homeland!" and Ustasha symbols flooded Široki Brijeg, where two Thompson concerts had been held in the previous two days, at which, as she pointed out, Ustasha ideology was undoubtedly and unhesitatingly spreading.
"A million Serbs died at the hands of the Ustasha during World War II, but not only Serbs, but also Jews and Roma, mostly in mass massacres and concentration camps. And when the official Croatian authorities do not want to ban him from performing in Croatia, we in BiH have to do it," Trivić stated in her post.
Her post was followed by numerous comments, including the message "Talk less, you'll live longer."
"Open death threats in the comments on my post/video about Thompson. From saying I have a 'nice forehead for a (caliber) 7,62', to 'dead Chetnik whore', to repeating ZDS (Ready for the Homeland!), which is nothing more than a call for mass slaughter of Serbs," Trivić stated in a new post on the social network X.
There have been many reactions from Republika Srpska over the past two days to Thompson's concerts in Široki Brijeg, at which shouts of "Ready for the homeland!" were heard, as well as the song "Bojna Čavoglave" which contains that slogan and the verse: "Hear, Serbian volunteers, gang, Chetniks, our hand will reach you in Serbia as well."
The performance in the "Pecara" hall was full of iconography, symbols of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) and allusions to the wartime 1990s.
