Serbia Honors War Criminal Mladic | Perth News
Description
A controversial funeral in Belgrade for Ratko Mladić, the convicted “Butcher of Bosnia” who died in prison after orchestrating atrocities including the Srebrenica massacre, has ignited international outrage. Thousands turned out in military honors, with Serbian leaders and the Orthodox patriarch praising him as a national hero — a stark contrast to EU officials’ condemnation, who warn such gestures undermine Serbia’s EU accession prospects. With President Vučić’s nationalist legacy and looming snap elections, the event underscores deep historical rifts and questions Serbia’s commitment to reconciliation, forcing the EU to closely monitor whether confronting the past remains a priority.
