Helsinki Committee: Mladic funeral a state-orchestrated glorification of war criminal

The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia condemned the funeral of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic as a 'skillfully prepared and synchronized performance' involving the state, army, and church. The event, held in Belgrade, drew international criticism and highlights Serbia's unresolved stance on its wartime past. The statement signals potential domestic political friction and reputational risk for Serbia, but no immediate market impact.
