Bosnia & HerzegovinaSerbiaMladić and Serbia’s EU path
4 days in discussion
Serbian leaders and the Serbian Orthodox Church turned Ratko Mladić’s burial into a public tribute, while critics in and beyond the Balkans warn that this deepens revisionist memory politics. The dispute is over whether the EU should keep accession pressure on Belgrade or tolerate glorification of a convicted war criminal as a side issue.
PositionsAccession talks should tighten, because state-backed praise for Mladić rewards wartime denial and weakens Serbia’s democratic standards. — Voxpot · Mladić’s burial exposed a wider memory struggle in Serbia, where nationalist politics clashes with European integration. — Monitor online (Monitor)
