On 19 November 2024 the Court of BiH confirmed an Indictment in the case of Miodrag Malić, charging the accused Miodrag Malić with the criminal offense of Provoking Ethnic, Racial and Religious Hatred, Discord and Intolerance under Article 145a(6) of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as read with Article 53 of the Code.

The accused is charged that, on 2 November 2022, in Banja Luka, in front of the Republika Srpska RTV building, at a protest rally organized by opposition political parties, in the manner specified in the Indictment, he glorified persons who have been convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes by final judgments of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, and, acquiescing to such a consequence, caused H.S. to feel unease, given what he knew about the suffering of Bosniak civilians in the previous war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where he still lives, and the participation of those convicted persons in those acts.
