Croatia threatens to withdraw EU bid support over Mladic funeral honors

Croatian Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic condemned the funeral for convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic as 'unacceptable' and contrary to European values, warning that Zagreb may withdraw support for Serbia's EU accession bid. The funeral, which drew state honors, signals persistent nationalist sentiment in Serbia and risks derailing its EU integration path. The threat is a diplomatic escalation but its concrete impact on Serbia's EU bid remains uncertain.
