US State Dept Condemns Mladić Glorification in Congress Hearing

A US State Department official, Daniel J. Lawton, publicly condemned the glorification of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić during a congressional hearing, framing it as a threat to justice. The statement signals US concern over nationalist revisionism in the Balkans, though it does not announce new policy. This is a diplomatic rebuke, not a policy shift, and its impact is limited to signaling US stance.
