Escalation: Thousands Attend Mladic's Controversial Funeral
Thousands gathered on Monday at the Church of St. Luke in Kosutnjak, Belgrade, to view Ratko Mladic’s body before burial. Many in the crowd carried Serbian flags and his portraits. Mladic died on August 27 in The Hague while serving a life sentence for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
He was buried at the Topcider cemetery, next to his daughter Ana. Family members, former comrades and public figures paid respects as his son Darko, his mother Bosiljka and granddaughter Anastasija received condolences.
The European Union criticized the funeral. Enlargement commissioner Marta Kos canceled an upcoming visit to Serbia in protest.
