Ratko Mladić, srpski ratni zapovjednik koji je bio osuđen za zločine protiv ljudstva tokom Bosne i Hercegovine 1990-ih, pokopan je u Beogradu u obiteljskoj grobnici na Topčiderskom groblju. Pogreb je proveden uz crkvene obrede i vojne počaste, a prisustvovale su razne političke figure, uključujući ministere Srbije i Republike Srpske, te ruskog veleposlanika.
