The death of former Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladić, who was executed by the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague, has sparked ongoing debate over his legacy. While he was convicted of genocide and war crimes, including the massacre of over 8,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica, some Serbian nationalists continue to honor him as a hero. The Serbian government announced plans for a state funeral with military honors, despite international condemnation. Emir Suljagić, director of the Srebrenica Memorial Center, emphasized that Mladić’s death does not alter historical facts or erase the consequences of his actions. The European Commission criticized any glorification of war criminals, while EU democratization chief Sandro Gozi warned against promoting historical revisionism. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić defended the country’s stance, criticizing the Hague tribunal for denying Mladić the right to die in Serbia and accusing Western nations of unfairly blaming Serbia for wartime atrocities.

The European football organization UEFA has initiated a disciplinary process against Red Star Belgrade due to fan behavior during a match against Viktorija. Fans of Red Star displayed a banner honoring Ratko Mladić, a former military commander convicted of genocide and war crimes who recently died in The Hague. The fan group 'Delije' was involved in this activity, and controversial scenes were later posted on the club’s official channels, including social media posts featuring the banners and a salute emoji. The Spomenik Center Srebrenica criticized the club for publishing these images, arguing that the responsibility cannot be limited to fans alone. UEFA is investigating the incident under three grounds: racist or discriminatory conduct, inappropriate messaging at sports venues, and improper team behavior. This follows a previous disciplinary action against Red Star for similar incidents involving Mladić. The club was urged to address both fan behavior and its own response in the same context.

The President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska, Nenad Stevandić, accused the Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) constitutional court of effectively declaring war against the Republic of Srpska. He argued that the court’s decision to include a question regarding the Serbian member of the BiH presidency, Željka Cvijanović, into proceedings created a dangerous precedent. This came after Cvijanović used her veto power to block the appointment of new members to the commission for preserving national monuments, which included foreign experts. The BiH presidency then referred the issue to the constitutional court, claiming the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska lacked authority over matters of external policy. Stevandić also linked the dispute to public reactions to the death of former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladić, suggesting some responses amounted to hatred and could constitute glorification of war criminals. The BiH prosecutor has received thousands of complaints since Mladić’s death, alleging violations related to the glorification of convicted war criminals.

Franc Breznik, a member of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), argues that the crimes committed by General Ratko Mladić during the Balkan wars were not the result of random nationalist extremists but were orchestrated by the elite of the former Yugoslavia. He claims that Mladić and other war criminals were products of the communist doctrine of the Yugoslav People's Army (JLA). Breznik highlights that Mladić grew up in a strictly communist household and spent his life within the structures of the JLA. He criticizes the system that claimed to stand for 'brotherhood and unity' yet produced such atrocities, suggesting that the JLA was built on crime and thus ended in crime. He references historical actions by the Partisan army in the 1940s, including mass killings, which he says went unpunished and set a precedent for later actions like those in Srebrenica.
