      Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladić died while serving a life sentence for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. His death recalls the little-known mission of Ukrainian Col.

      Smrt u zatvoru osuđenoga ratnog zločinca Ratka Mladića, načelnika GŠ-a Vojske Republike Srpske tijekom rata u Bosni i Hercegovini, izazvala je posve različite reakcije najprije u zemlji u kojoj je počinio najteža kaznena djela, zatim u Hrvatskoj, u kojoj je u ratu 1991. također odgovoran za smrt i razaranja, te u Srbiji, u kojoj se skrivao do 2011. godine. Te različite reakcije, od podsjećanja na Mladićeve zločine do njegova slavljenja, govore o konfliktu koji i – dalje traje

      Bývalý velitel vojsk bosenských Srbů generál Ratko Mladić, který zemřel minulý týden, si ve vězení v nizozemském Haagu odpykával doživotní trest za válečné zločiny. V Srbsku ho ale pohřbí se všemi vojenskými a státními poctami, oznámil tamní ministr spravedlnosti. „Část srbské veřejnosti věří, že Ratko Mladić byl potrestán buď příliš přísně, anebo vyloženě nespravedlivě,“ přibližuje v Interview Plus redaktorka týdeníku Respekt Magdaléna Fajtová.
