A mural dedicated to convicted war criminal Slobodan Praljak has reappeared in Zagreb's Laniste district on Sunday.

In October, the City District Council requested the removal of Praljak’s mural based on a citizen’s report.

However, the mural appeared again at the substation in the Laniste neighbourhood of Zagreb.

Slobodan Praljak committed suicide in the courtroom of the International Court of Justice in The Hague in protest of his conviction for war crimes.

He was a top commander of the Croat Defense Council (HVO) paramilitary when the crime was committed between 1992 and 1994 – along with five other top officials of the wartime self-proclaimed Bosnian Croat statelet of Herzeg-Bosnia (HB) were handed lengthy prison sentences in 2013 for leading what the Hague tribunal defined as a joint criminal enterprise to commit ethnic cleansing against Bosniaks in parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina under their control, with the ultimate goal of annexing HB to neighbouring Croatia.
