The Youth Initiative for Human Rights (YIHR) is calling on the Cultural Institution Äuprija to annul the competition and the decision regarding the selected design for the mural in the center of Äuprija in Serbia, dedicated to NebojÅ”a PavkoviÄ, a convicted for war crimes in Kosovo. Due to the responsibility for publishing the competition, we also demand the dismissal of Stefan StamenkoviÄ, the director of this institution. The competition for a mural dedicated to PavkoviÄ represents an institutionalized practice of denying the war crimes for which he was convicted.
