The Serbian police late on Tuesday briefly detained a local opposition activist after she threw eggs at a downtown Belgrade wall painting of Ratko Mladic, a convicted war criminal and the wartime commander of Bosnian Serbs.
A video posted on an Instagram profile showed plainclothes men who identified themselves as police officers, whisking away Aida Corovic, after she threw eggs at the wall painting depicting Mladic saluting and wearing his officer's cap.
Corovic's detention prompted protests by dozens of opposition and leftist activists and riot police cordoned off the area near the building with the mural. In a statement, Serbia's Interior Ministry said the police were enforcing public order and an earlier ban on all public gatherings related to the wall painting of Mladic.
