前波斯尼亚塞族军队司令、战争罪犯拉特科·姆拉迪奇于9月7日在贝尔格莱德获得军事葬礼，数千人参加了悼念活动12。姆拉迪奇曾因1995年斯雷布雷尼察大屠杀和其他战争罪行在海牙被判终身监禁，随后在狱中去世12。在那场大屠杀中，他的波斯尼亚塞族部队杀害了约8000名波斯尼亚克平民和战俘12。
塞尔维亚总统武契奇未出席葬礼，声称与乌兹别克斯坦领导人的访问日程相冲突1。尽管缺席，武契奇为这场军事仪式进行了辩护1。此举引发欧盟强烈不满，欧盟扩大事务委员玛尔塔·科斯随即取消了对贝尔格莱德的访问计划12。欧盟发表声明指出，"任何对战争罪犯的美化、否认种族灭绝和修正主义历史违反最根本的欧洲价值观"2。
这场葬礼发生在塞尔维亚即将举行的议会选举前夕12。武契奇预计将在本周召集选举，选举时间可能定在10月25日2。政治学家德扬·布尔萨克指出，武契奇正在利用民族主义情绪塑造自己的爱国者形象，同时将政治对手描绘成叛徒2。
Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb military commander convicted of genocide, received a military funeral in Belgrade on September 7 with thousands in attendance.12 Mladic died in The Hague while serving a life sentence for his role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, in which approximately 8,000 Bosniak civilians and prisoners of war were killed by his forces.12
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić did not attend the ceremony, citing a scheduling conflict with a visit by Uzbekistan's leadership.1 However, Vučić defended the military rather than state funeral format, stating: "Should we ban people from attending, prohibit the funeral itself and create a dog graveyard?"1 The government framed the event as respecting the family's wishes, though political analysts view it as part of a broader strategy to mobilize nationalist sentiment ahead of parliamentary elections scheduled for October 25.2 Political scientist Dejan Bursać observed that "Vučić is using nationalist emotions to portray himself as a patriot while depicting political opponents as traitors."2
The funeral has triggered significant international criticism.12 The European Union's Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos canceled her planned visit to Belgrade, and the EU issued a statement declaring that "any glorification of war criminals, denial of genocide and historical revisionism violates the most fundamental European values."2 The ceremony occurred weeks before Serbia's October 25 elections and just before Bosnia and Herzegovina's elections on October 4.12
