SpainBosnia-Herzegovina has decided to withdraw part of its diplomatic staff from Belgrade following the military honors funeral of war criminal Ratko Mladic in Serbia. The move was announced by Bosnia’s Foreign Minister, Elmedin Konakovic, who stated he would remove all possible personnel from the embassy in Belgrade without requiring approval from other state institutions. However, the ambassador and consul will remain in their positions due to the need for approval from Bosnia’s tripartite Presidency. This decision comes amid tensions over Mladic’s status as a hero in Serbia, despite his conviction for genocide and crimes against humanity during the Bosnian War. Croatia’s foreign minister criticized Serbia for honoring Mladic, calling it incompatible with European Union values. Mladic, who was sentenced to life imprisonment by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, was buried in Belgrade after a ceremony attended by Serbian authorities.
