Story summary

Ratko Mladic, a former Bosnian Serb army commander and convicted war criminal, has died at 84 while serving a life sentence for genocide and other atrocities committed during the 1992-95 Bosnian War. His body was flown back to Serbia on a government plane and met with a guard of honor in Belgrade. Mladic is considered a hero by many Serbs, but his death has sparked international condemnation from the European Union, which accused Serbia of "glorifying" him. The EU's Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos canceled her visit to Serbia in response, saying that the glorification surrounding Mladic's death was incompatible with the values on which the EU path is built. Thousands are expected to attend Mladic's burial in Belgrade on Monday, despite international condemnation. Mladic was convicted of orchestrating the massacre of more than 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica in 1995, as well as other war crimes including setting up concentration camps for detained non-Serb civilians and enemy soldiers.
