Thousands turn out in Serbia for funeral of 'Butcher of Bosnia' Ratko Mladić
Mladić was jailed for genocide during the 1990s Bosnian war and the EU warned Serbia not to glorify the convicted war criminal.
Thousands of people have turned out in Serbia's capital, Belgrade, to attend the funeral of the convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić.
Widely known as the Butcher of Bosnia, Mladić died at the age of 84 while serving a life sentence in the UN prison in The Hague, the Netherlands.
He was found guilty of genocide by a UN war crimes tribunal for his role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, when around 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were killed. It was described as Europe's worst atrocity since World War Two.
The funeral service was led by the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Porfirije, who said Mladić's name would remain "deeply etched in the memory and prayers of the majority of our Serbian Orthodox people, who feel and nurture a deep sense of gratitude towards him".
