Serbia: war criminal Mladić commemorated in Belgrade without state honors

Euronews Portugal5 September 2026 at 12:51

Mladić was a Bosnian-Serb military commander considered a war criminal, having been convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia for genocide and crimes against humanity.

Thousands of people are expected at Mladić's funeral, which will take place on Monday in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

The funeral will take place without state honors, meaning without the presence of officials in office, without artillery salutes and without ceremonial military presence.

Brussels has already warned that any attempt to glorify Mladić will be considered incompatible with the values that underpin Serbia's accession process to the European Union.

For 500 years we have had the wrong map: "In fact, Greenland is 14 times smaller than Africa"

The United Nations General Assembly voted in favor of adopting a new world map that reflects the true sizes of countries, correcting a cartographic distortion that has persisted for about 500 years. The traditional Mercator map, used since the 16th century, significantly distorts the dimensions of territories, making Greenland appear larger than Africa, when in reality the African continent is 14 times larger than Greenland.
