EU condemns glorification of late Bosnian Serb war criminal Mladic

The EU issued a condemnation of public glorification of Ratko Mladic, the convicted Bosnian Serb war criminal who died in prison last month. The statement signals continued EU pressure on Balkan states to confront wartime legacies, though it is a diplomatic rebuke rather than a policy shift. The move may affect EU accession talks with Serbia and Bosnia, where nationalist narratives persist.
