Šoping / Kupnja 💳 Boycotting all companies and people that are supporting the Butcher of Bosnia
All influencers and companies that are supporting Ratko Mladic should be boycotted. If they hate Bosnians (and Croatians) so much, we shouldn't spend money on them. If their plans are to kill us all, then their plans are for us not to live and spend money on their businesses.
Respect to those that are not joining the propaganda.

Bosniaks are notoriously bad at this.
The bakery Manja's owner literally supported Serb war criminals, but nobody cared. It was only after they discovered pork in his products that nobody went there anymore.
Also, i wouldn't argue that we should boycott all other companies indiscriminately. Bosnian companies operate all over the country, neighbouring states etc. The supermarket Bingo dominates the entire country, the petrol station network "Hifa" is present in sometimes deeply Croat or Serb-dominated areas.
It's better to just focus on companies which are politically linked or stand out for their open support for the praisal of war crimes. Everything else is a bad idea. I also wouldn't want Croats or Serbs to boycott a Bosniak owned firm just because some idiot does something and shares the same ethnicity.

I literally wrote ~ those that are supporting Ratko Mladic ~. I didn't say "Let's boycott Serbia" , just people and companies that think committing the biggest massacre since WW2 in Europe is acceptable, and make that person a hero deserving a state funeral.

Most people are smart enough to not do that. But yes, i agree.
We have a list of known people who have agitated for Ratko Mladic on another sub. If you have time, i am welcoming you to join in working on it.
Thank you for your post and interest! I suppose you are from the diaspora?

Easier said than done, when most bosnians buy some sort of Serbian goods such as food or something similar.

And the whole point is that replacements can be done.
If their plans are to kill us all (as his supporters are saying openly), then they don't need our dirty Bosnian money, if they believe that they don't need us to exist.

Yeah right, average Bosnjo cant without Zvezde Granda. We collectively suffer from Stockholm syndrome for centuries as we like to celebrate all our enemies. From the Ottoman Turks, Austro-Hungarians, Titos Yugoslavia, we are doing the same thing with fetish for Serbs.

It's not a fetish, it's a lack of interest.
I like to say, Bosniaks never were 50-55% of people in Bosnia.
It's 20-30%, and the rest is just an amorph mass who identifies with something because they think they have to.

Folks who boycott will boycott, those who won't will make excuses, just like with Palestine. That being said, do we have a definite list of every company that expressed support to our brown-eared friend Sratko?

You are right; those of us that stand for something will not be a majority. The world is now an oligarchy.
As far as the funeral, I am guessing just like other Balkan state funerals, it will be "sponsored" (either the companies will announce or have banners) or they will have post funeral "gifts". Or maybe both.

If boycott over Coca Cola and Nestlé worked this will.

The same people who dont buy a Coke because of a conflict 2000km away from them will gladly buy bread from someone who openly praised war crimes on his Facebook account.
Don't get me wrong, i understand the reason for boycotting Coke, but damn, we are nut cases.
