EPP Condemns Mladić Funeral Honors, Pressures Serbia's SNS

The European People's Party (EPP) publicly condemned the funeral of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić in Belgrade, calling the images 'deeply disturbing' and signaling that these events will factor into its review of Serbia's ruling SNS party. This marks a notable escalation in EPP rhetoric toward the SNS, potentially affecting Serbia's EU integration prospects. The statement is confirmed but its political impact remains uncertain.
