Bogdan Bogdanović, captain of the Serbian national basketball team, spoke out in defense of Dijana Hrka, who was provoked by the “residents of Ćacilend.”
The famous Serbian basketball player shared a post on Instagram dedicated to the mother who lost her child in the collapse of the canopy in Novi Sad on November 1 last year.
Since then, Dijana Hrka has been fighting for justice, seeking accountability for one of the greatest tragedies in Serbia, and a huge number of people across the country have stood by her.
“When someone mocks another’s pain, they do not show strength but emptiness. A mother who has lost her child has the right to fight and to have her voice heard, and all of us should be her support. Even if we cannot understand, the least we can do as human beings is to remain silent with respect. A mother’s pain should NEVER be a subject of ridicule, but rather a test of humanity for each of us,” reads the caption of the post titled “A mother’s pain must not be a subject of mockery,” which Bogdanović shared.
Bogdan also added the song “Cveta trešnja,” performed by Anica Dobra and the “LOLA” choir.
Dijana Hrka has been on a hunger strike for days in front of the National Assembly in Belgrade, where the now (in)famous Ćacilend is located, inhabited by supporters and sympathizers of the Serbian Progressive Party. The other night, in front of Dijana, they played the song “Morem plovi jedna mala barka,” which contains the verse: “A mother set out to search for her son.” Is there anything more to say about their behavior?
Every day, a large number of people stand by Mrs. Hrka — people who have been fighting for months, even years, for a better and fairer Serbia, where everyone will, to begin with, be held accountable before the law for their (mis)deeds.
Let us remind you, Bogdanović has long and repeatedly supported students in their fight for truth, justice, and freedom… He has shown support for protests across Serbia, and now he stands with Dijana Hrka – that’s how the captain of Serbia does it.
