Marta Kos tells European lawmakers the dignity of genocide and war crime victims cannot be negotiated, in remarks made in the context of Ratko Mladic's funeral
A funeral for former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, attended by senior Serbian and Bosnian Serb officials, has drawn strong reactions across the Balkans, according to Deutsche Welle.
European Union officials criticized Serbia after government ministers reportedly attended the funeral of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic, calling it a failure to reckon with past atrocities.
The European Union said there is no place for honoring war criminals, after thousands gathered in Belgrade to attend the funeral of Ratko Mladic.
The former Bosnian Serb commander, convicted of genocide over the Srebrenica massacre, was laid to rest in a funeral broadcast live on Serbian television, days before President Aleksandar Vucic is expected to call elections.
Marta Kos says a planned commemoration honoring convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic is incompatible with European values, according to Al Jazeera.
