Thousands gather in Belgrade for funeral of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic

Thousands gathered in Belgrade to pay respects at Ratko Mladic’s funeral, with flags, candles and buses bringing mourners.
Mladic remains a deeply polarizing figure—revered by many Serbs despite being convicted of genocide and war crimes for Srebrenica and the Sarajevo siege.
His death and public glorification have sparked regional tensions and international criticism, rekindling painful memories in Bosnia.
