EU blasts Serbia over 'Butcher of Bosnia' funeral

{"

EU's Concerns About Serbia's Funeral for Mladić":"The EU's enlargement commissioner, Marta Kos, has warned that Serbia's public support for Mladić is incompatible with the country's application to join the EU. Kos stated, 'The glorification of war criminals has no place; it goes really, really strong against European values and has no space, not in the EU member states, but also in our candidates.'","

Mladić's War Crimes and Serbia's Response":"Mladić was the commander of the Bosnian Serb Army during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War. He was responsible for the massacre of more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica and other atrocities. Despite this, Serbia's government has organized a public funeral for Mladić, which has been condemned by EU officials.","

International Reaction to Serbia's Funeral":"Ireland's Europe Minister, Thomas Byrne, has also expressed concern about the funeral. Byrne stated, 'There's not actually a state funeral taking place, but there may well be senior figures from government memorializing that man, so that's not acceptable.'"}
