Bosnian Serbs honor convicted war criminal Mladic; nationalist sentiment persists

Hundreds of Bosnian Serbs gathered to pay tribute to Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb commander convicted of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The event underscores persistent nationalist sentiment and contested historical narratives in the region, potentially complicating reconciliation efforts. The gathering is a symbolic act, not a policy shift, but signals enduring ethnic divisions.
