The film 'Wedding,' directed by Igor Šeregija, has sparked controversy in Croatia and neighboring countries with its romantic comedy narrative centered around the relationship between a Croat and a Serb. In Croatia, public opinion is divided; while some see it as a must-watch film, others have expressed concerns about its portrayal of Christianity. Notably, the parish of Uzašašća Gospodinova in Novi Travnik has voiced strong criticism, labeling the film as offensive to Christian values.

The parish's criticism highlights specific issues regarding the film's treatment of religious themes, pointing out that it depicts God in a vulgar and blasphemous manner, undermining what they believe to be the essential truths of their faith. This stance reflects broader tensions in Croatian society regarding cultural narratives that intersect with religious sentiments, particularly in contexts involving differing ethnic backgrounds such as those depicted in 'Wedding.'

In response to these concerns, the parish is mobilizing its community to boycott the film's screenings and organize prayers for artists, actors, and directors. This illustrates the larger cultural debates within Croatia about freedom of expression and respect for religious beliefs, as well as the ongoing impact of historical conflicts on contemporary artistic expressions.
