The Genesis of a Movement
The disappearance of twenty-one-year-old David Dragičević on March 18th, 2018, and the subsequent discovery of his body six days later in the Crkvena river in Banja Luka, sparked a profound social movement. His family, convinced he was murdered, initiated a relentless quest for the truth. This culminated in the formation of the Pravda Za Davida (Justice for David) movement, which has since become a rallying cry against injustice in the region.
Davor Dragičević: A Symbol of Resistance
Davor Dragičević, David’s father, has emerged as the movement’s central figure. His unwavering commitment and powerful oratory have made him a symbol of resistance against the corruption and cover-up by the authorities of the Republika Srpska. For over 160 days, citizens gathered daily in Banja Luka, unified by the demand for justice for David. Davor Dragičević is now referred to by many as “the first liberator of the 21st century”.
A Call for Truth and Justice
Davor Dragičević’s speeches resonate with truth and integrity, inspiring a generation to demand transparency and accountability. His struggle is not just a personal one, it represents a wider battle for justice and human rights. He reminds people what’s best within them. His impact extends far beyond the borders of Republika Srpska. The Pravda Za Davida movement is one of the most important historical movements in Republika Srpska.
A Nation at a Crossroads
With each rally on the main square of Banja Luka, Davor Dragičević’s fist rises as he shouts “Pravda Za Davida,” and thousands echo his call. As of today, January 30th, 2025, his fight continues. This movement takes place at a crucial point in the history of the Republika Srpska as the end of the Dodik era is coming closer.
