"The images from Ratko Mladic's funeral yesterday in Belgrade were shocking. . . Official support and the presence of some Serbian officials at the funeral are deeply regrettable," wrote EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Council President António Costa in identical posts on X.
The comments come after the EU received criticism for not condemning Serbia's actions strongly enough, with, among others, the country's defence and justice ministers present at the funeral.
Very bad, said, for example, the prime minister of neighboring Croatia, Andrej Plenkovic, about the fact that the EU leadership initially only commented through various spokespersons.
