Convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic buried with military honours in Belgrade
Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb commander convicted of genocide and war crimes including the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, died on August 27, 2026, aged 84, while serving a life sentence in The Hague. His funeral in Belgrade on September 7 drew thousands of mourners and was attended by Serbian government ministers, the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Bosnian Serb officials, and the Russian ambassador. The EU condemned the glorification, with top officials questioning Serbia's EU accession path, and Bosnia downgraded diplomatic ties with Serbia in response.
