Jadranka Kosor, a former Prime Minister of Croatia, is urging the European Commission to halt Serbia’s path toward EU membership. Kosor’s call to action comes after a large public farewell event held for Ratko Mladić, a figure controversial for his actions during the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. She has directly appealed to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, to intervene and suspend accession talks with Serbia. Kosor believes the event honoring Mladić demonstrates a disregard for the values the European Union upholds. The former Croatian leader views this as a critical moment necessitating strong action from the EU. This demand highlights ongoing political tensions between Croatia and Serbia regarding historical issues and regional stability. The move seeks to pressure Serbia following the controversial demonstration of support for Mladić.
