Former Bosnian Serb army chief and convicted war criminal Mladić is to be buried with military and state honors in Belgrade on Monday. Thousands of people are expected at the funeral.

Mladić – the “Butcher from the Balkans”

Mladić died on Thursday in a hospital in the Dutch city of The Hague at the age of 84. After being convicted by the Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Mladić served a life sentence in The Hague for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. He suffered from health problems for years and recently had several strokes.

Mladić's name is inextricably linked to the Srebrenica massacre in July 1995. Bosnian Serb troops under his command stormed the UN safe zone and murdered around 8,000 Muslim men and boys. The massacre is considered one of the worst war crimes in Europe since the end of the Second World War.
