Ratko Mladic will be buried in Belgrade this afternoon.

Ratko Mladić, nekdanji general sil bosanskih Srbov in obsojenec za vojne zločine v Bosni in Hercegovini, je umrl v Haagu 27. avgusta 2026. Njegove posmrtne ostanke so odpeljale v Srbijo, kjer so bile pokopane popoldne 7. septembra 2026 na pokopališču Topčider v Beogradu. Pogreb je bil organiziran pod okrilom družine Mladića, saj je srbski predsednik Aleksandar Vučić ne bo prisoten, ker bo v istem času v gostovanju uzbekistanskega predsednika Šavkata Mirzijojeva. Pred pogrebom je v cerkvi svetega Luke v Vidikovcu potekla religiozna obrada, ki jo je vodil patrijarh Porfirije. Mladić je bil pravnomočno obsojen na dosmrtno kazen leta 2021 zaradi genocida v Srebrenici in drugih vojnih zločinov. Po svoji smrti so njegovi bliznji in odvetniki večkrat zahtevali njegovo predčasno izpustitev iz zaporu zaradi zdravstvenih težav, vendar so prošnje bile zavrneti.

Israeli rubble-clearing in Gaza could erase 'atrocity crimes' evidence: UN expert

Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, warned that Israel's ongoing efforts to clear rubble in Gaza risk destroying critical evidence of potential atrocity crimes, including genocide. She stated that the rubble contains human remains and physical evidence essential for investigating alleged international crimes. Albanese cited estimates suggesting over 10,000 people are still buried under the debris in Gaza. The UN official emphasized that the rubble is not merely construction waste but a crime scene and graveyard documenting the impact of Israel's two-year bombing campaign. She highlighted the recent recovery of 112 civilian remains from Gaza City, while 41 others from the same incident remain missing.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the situation in Gaza through the perspective of a UN official who has previously accused Israel of genocide and war crimes. It emphasizes the destruction of evidence related to alleged atrocities and highlights the humanitarian impact of the conflict, using terms like 'brutal and

'Butcher of Bosnia' Ratko Mladic lies in state ahead of funeral for Srebrenica genocide general

Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb commander convicted of orchestrating the Srebrenica genocide and other war crimes, has been honored with a memorial service in Belgrade, Serbia, despite his crimes against humanity. Thousands attended the event, where he was treated as a hero by many Serbs, with military honors and religious ceremonies taking place. His remains were transported to Serbia by the government, and the Serbian Orthodox Church played a central role in the proceedings. This has sparked tension between Serbia and the European Union, as the EU criticized the honoring of a war criminal, calling it incompatible with democratic values. Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić, who has historically supported nationalist policies, dismissed the criticism and escalated his anti-Western rhetoric ahead of upcoming elections.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the event factually, describing the memorial service, the reactions of attendees, and the resulting diplomatic tensions with the EU. It does not exhibit overtly biased language, nor does it favor one side over another in its description of the event or its implications. The tone

Ratko Mladić, the ‘Butcher of Bosnia’, given hero’s funeral in Serbia

Ratko Mladić, a former Serbian general convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity for his role in the Bosnian War, was given a state funeral in Serbia despite international criticism. Thousands of mourners attended the ceremony in Belgrade, where Mladić's coffin was transported on a government plane and honored with military honors. His death, while serving a life sentence, sparked controversy due to the perceived glorification of a war criminal. The European Union expressed concern over the event, emphasizing that such actions contradict core European values and hinder Serbia's EU accession negotiations. Mladić was responsible for some of the worst atrocities of the 1990s Balkan conflicts, including the siege of Sarajevo.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the event factually, highlighting both the public mourning in Serbia and the international concerns raised by the EU. It does not favor one perspective over another, providing balanced quotes from Serbian citizens and EU officials without editorializing or biased language.
