Thousands Attend Ratko Mladic's Funeral in Belgrade Amid EU Criticism
Thousands gathered in Belgrade for the funeral of Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb general convicted of genocide and war crimes, with the Serbian Orthodox Church leading the service. Mladic remains a revered figure among many Serbs despite his convictions for the 1995 Srebrenica massacre and the siege of Sarajevo. The funeral drew criticism from the European Union and regional leaders, who condemned the public honors amid Serbia's EU membership aspirations. The Serbian government facilitated the return of his remains and held military commemorations.
