Ravna

Nearly 300 decares of municipal deciduous forest burned in the fire near the village of Belevren, near the Bulgarian-Turkish border.

The two fires in the Burgas region have already been localized - in the area of Belevren and between the villages of Rosen and Ravna Gora.

The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court on Wednesday convicted three members of the Serb nationalist Ravna Gora Movement of inciting ethnic, racial and religious hatred, discord and intolerance in the Visegrad area in March 2019.

The Bosnian state court on Monday upheld an appeal filed by the prosecution and quashed the verdict that acquitted Ravna Gora Movement members Dusan Sladojevic, Slavko Aleksic and Risto Lecic of ethnic, racial and religious hatred, discord and intolerance in the Visegrad area in March 2019.

The court ordered a retrial for the three defendants.

But the threat posed by right-wing groups, such as the Ravna Gora Chetnik Movement, has been largely neglected.

But even though inter-ethnic relations remain highly sensitive, members of Chetnik associations from Bosnia and Serbia who participate in these events did not face any consequences for staging their rowdy celebrations and singing nationalist songs that seem to threaten bloodshed until last year.

The controversial Chetnik rally in Visegrad has been cancelled after the Interior Ministry in Bosnia's Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity on Wednesday issued a ban on all public gatherings until March 30 in an attempt to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

A TV crew was attacked by a member of the Ravna Gora Chetnik movement during a commemoration to mark the 70th anniversary of the arrest of their WWII leader Dragoljub Mihailovic.
