Thousands gathered in Belgrade for the funeral of Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian-Serb military commander. The event drew significant attention due to Mladic's controversial legacy.
Mladic was convicted of war crimes and genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal, having become known as the "Butcher of Bosnia." His convictions are related to the conflicts in Bosnia during the 1990s.
The presence of thousands of people at the funeral contrasts with the international condemnation of Mladic, who is considered responsible for some of the worst atrocities committed during the Yugoslav wars. The event took place in the Serbian capital, where Mladic was seen by some sectors as a figure of resistance.
