Belgrade holds funeral for war criminal Ratko Mladić
A funeral for Ratko Mladić, the former Bosnian Serb army commander convicted of war crimes by a tribunal in The Hague, was held on Monday in Serbia's capital, Belgrade.
On Monday, a funeral ceremony took place in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, for Ratko Mladić, the former commander of the Bosnian Serb army.
Mladić led Bosnian Serb armed forces during the Bosnian War in the early 1990s, a period marked by violent conflict between ethnic groups following the breakup of Yugoslavia into several independent states.
He was later held internationally accountable for crimes committed during the war and was convicted by the tribunal in The Hague.
The funeral in Belgrade drew people who came to bid him a final farewell.
