Grlić Radman: Commemorating and glorifying Mladić is incompatible with EU values

Croatia's Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, Gordan Grlić Radman, criticized the commemoration and glorification of war criminal Ratko Mladić as incompatible with European Union values. Thousands attended the event where Mladić's remains were displayed at a local church before his burial. Grlić Radman emphasized that Mladić was responsible for war crimes in Croatia, including the massacres in Škabrnja, Knin, and the Zadar region, and was convicted for the genocide in Srebrenica. He condemned such celebrations as an insult to victims and their families. The European Commission's enlargement commissioner, Marta Kovač, canceled a planned visit to Serbia due to this glorification. Mladić, who died in prison in The Hague in August 2023, was sentenced to life imprisonment for war crimes during the 1990s conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Grlić Radman also commented on the upcoming BiH presidential election, stating that the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) supports Darija Filipović, a candidate from the sister party HDZ BiH.

The son gave a speech: 'While you were going by helicopter to Knin...'

Ratko Mladić, pravomoćno osuđen na doživotni zatvor za genocid u Srebrenici i druge ratne zločine u Bosni i Hercegovini, pokopan je u Beogradu. Tijekom sprovoda odane su mu vojne počasti, a dio publike ga je označio kao heroja. Na groblju je govorio njegov sin Darko, koji je opisao oca kao borca i pobjednika, a okupljeni su reagirali pljeskom na njegove riječi. Predsjednik Srbije Aleksandar Vučić nije prisustvovao, ali je njegov sin Danilo došao na ispraćaj. Mladić je bio zapovjednik Srpske vojske tijekom rata i proglašen je krivim za masovne zločine.

Grlić Radman: Commemorating and glorifying Mladić is incompatible with EU values

Ministar vanjskih i europskih poslova Gordan Grlić Radman kritikovao je komemoraciju i 'veličanje' ratnog zločinca Ratka Mladića, smatrajući da to predstavlja zabrinjavajuće stanje duha i protivlječi europskim vrijednostima. Mladić, koji je bio ratni zapovjednik bosanskih Srpa tokom sukoba 1990-ih, pravomoćno je osuđen za genocid u Srebrenici i drugi zločini, a osuđen je na doživotni zatvor. Umro je u zatvorskoj bolnici u Den Haagu 2023. godine. Grlić Radman istaknuo je da takve poruke o Mladiću dolaze ne samo iz Srbije već i iz Crne Gore, što predstavlja uvreda za žrtve i njihove obitelji. Povjerenica Europske komisije za proširenje Marta Kos otkazala je planirani posjet Srbiji zbog ovih manifestacija. Također, Grlić Radman je komentarisao izbore u Bosni i Hercegovini, izrazivši podršku kandidatkinji Darijani Filipović za hrvatsku članicu Predsjedništva BiH.

Bias read (Conservative): Artikl kritizira komemoraciju Mladića kao protivlječnu prema europskim vrijednostima, koristi opasne reči poput 'zabrinjavajuće stanje duha', 'protivlječno' i 'uvreda'. Kritika se fokusira na političke subjekte (Srbija, Crna Gora, BiH), a izrazi su direktno vezani za hrvatsku diplomatsku politiku. U
