“One of the more unusual, and perhaps important, protests in Europe this year was a silent march July 11 of about 1,000 people in Novi Pazar. The city, located in the largely Christian country of Serbia, is predominantly Muslim. The march took place on the 30th anniversary of the worst massacre in Europe since World War II – the killing of some 8,000 Muslim men and boys by Bosnian Serb soldiers. Yet the protest was more than a commemoration of those killed in the village of Srebrenica in neighboring Bosnia. And it was more than a call for Christian Serbs to remember how a past regime supported the genocide of Bosnian Muslims in 1995. Rather, the march … marked the expansion of Serb identity beyond the ethno-nationalism forced on the country under the 12-year authoritarian rule of President Aleksandar Vučić.” (07/16/25)
