Some 2,000 people gathered in Kalinovik, southeast Bosnia, on Sunday, to protest against the arrest of Bosnian Serb wartime general Ratko Mladic.
Kalinovik is Mladic's birth town.
The rally was organised by the association of former Bosnian Serb soldiers, led by Mladic (BORS).
A banner was hung over the main street, saying: "Welcome to Mladicevo" (Mladic's town). Young and old people waved Serbian flags and carried Mladic posters, many wearing traditional hats with the Serbian coats-of-arms on it.
Bosnian Serb wartime military leader Mladic, sought for genocide and war crimes during the 1992-95 Bosnian war, was arrested in Serbia last Thursday after 16 years on the run and is expecting extradition to the UN war crimes court in The Hague.
