On the left of the trinity of Serbian nationalist politicians stands Milorad Dodik, 8th President of Republika Srpska. Elected in 2022, he was removed from office in 2025 by the Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina for undermining federal Bosnian institutions. He is a close ally of Hungary’s Viktor Orban and Russia’s Vladimir Putin. The graffiti on the bottom right wall of the house echoes Jean-Paul Sartre’s observation that `HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE’.

Forever drawn to the borders
I draw around the homeland 
Of my continual departure.

Forever drawn to the borders
I draw around the homeland 
Of my continual disappearance.

Have all the borders crossed
Reduced me to zero?

Amusement motivated the photograph. However, my amusement has been soured by learning that only yesterday (11/12/25) a migrant boat sunk trying to cross from the Bosnian side to Slavonski Brod with thirteen people on board. Three of them died. The bitterness of borders.
