已故塞尔维亚军事将领拉特科·姆拉迪奇的遗体已被运回塞尔维亚，定于周一下葬1。塞尔维亚司法部长内纳德·武伊奇表示将为姆拉迪奇举行国家最高荣誉葬礼1，但这一决定招致欧盟官员的强烈反对。欧盟扩大事务专员玛尔塔·科斯警告称接下来的几天"将是一个非常重要的考验"1。
姆拉迪奇因多项战争罪行于2017年被国际法庭判处终身监禁1。其罪行包括指挥1995年斯雷布雷尼察大屠杀（造成8000多人死亡）、组织1992年至1995年间对萨拉热窝的围城，以及建立集中营等1。欧洲人权委员会专员迈克尔·奥弗拉蒂警告称公开美化战争罪犯违反欧洲人权公约1。比利时外交部长马克西姆·普雷沃则称给予姆拉迪奇葬礼荣誉将是"可耻和不尊重受害者的行为"1。
这场争议已成为塞尔维亚加入欧盟进程中的敏感问题1。
The European Union is closely monitoring how Serbia handles the funeral of Ratko Mladic, a former military commander convicted of major war crimes whose remains have been returned to the country for burial on Monday 1. Mladic was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2017 for his role in orchestrating the 1995 Srebrenica massacre that killed over 8,000 people, organizing the siege of Sarajevo between 1992 and 1995, and establishing concentration camps 1. Serbia's Justice Minister Nenad Vujcic announced that Mladic will receive a state funeral with the highest honors 1.
The planned ceremony has drawn sharp criticism from European officials. EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos stated that the coming days would represent "a very important test" for the bloc 1. Belgium's Foreign Minister Maxim Prévot condemned the decision to accord Mladic funeral honors as "shameful and disrespectful to the victims" 1. Michael O'Flaherty, the Council of Europe's human rights commissioner, warned that public glorification of war criminals violates European human rights conventions 1. The funeral arrangement has become a sensitive issue amid Serbia's bid for EU membership, which has stalled partly due to concerns over democratic backsliding and the country's refusal to join international sanctions against Russia 1.
