A convicted war criminal, Ratko Mladić, was honored with a minute of silence during a local football match in Belgrade. The gesture occurred during a game in Serbia’s capital, sparking outrage among many. Mladić was convicted of genocide and war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The tribute took place despite his status as an internationally condemned figure. This display of support underscores ongoing divisions and sensitivities surrounding the Balkan conflicts. Authorities have yet to comment on the incident, raising questions about accountability and reconciliation in Serbia. The move is expected to further strain relations with nations affected by the wars of the 1990s.
