Serbia welcomes return of war criminal Mladic’s body with military honours

The body of Ratko Mladic, former Bosnian Serb army commander, has returned to Belgrade for burial, received with military honours. Mladic, convicted in 2017 of genocide and war crimes, died last week at the age of 84 in a UN detention facility. Thousands of Serbs held vigils in his honour, despite his conviction by the UN tribunal.
