WORLD media reports that Ratko Mladić was buried in Belgrade with the highest honors, although the official Belgrade claims that it was not a state funeral.
The non-governmental organization Helsinki Committee for Human Rights assessed that today's funeral of the commander of the Republika Srpska Army Ratko Mladić, who died in The Hague while serving a life sentence for genocide and war crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s, was "a skillfully prepared and synchronized performance of the state, the army and the church".
For years, the West has watched people convicted of the most serious war crimes being rehabilitated and glorified, while at the same time there was talk of the European perspective of Serbia, the stability of the region and the "constructive" role of Belgrade. What world officials treat today as a shock and an incident is actually a direct consequence of their own long-term calculation.
The participation of the Serbian Army in the state funeral of war criminal Ratko Mladić is an event that can hardly remain without consequences for the relations between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, especially when it comes to the cooperation of their state institutions.
