Serbia commemorates Ratko Mladić convicted of genocide
Ratko Mladić, the Bosnian Serb leader convicted of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity during the Bosnian War, died on August 27 in The Hague, where he was serving a life sentence. His funeral was held with a large public turnout in Belgrade, featuring an open casket displaying his body and military symbols despite European criticism of Serbia, which considered the gesture a tribute to a man convicted of widespread crimes, including the Srebrenica massacre that resulted in the death of over 8,000 Bosniak Muslims. Mladić’s death and the attempts to honor him have sparked widespread controversy; to some Serbs, he is viewed as a national hero, while war victims see him as a symbol of mass killing and ethnic cleansing.
