> Thousands attended the funeral of Bosnian Serb war criminal Ratko Mladić despite warnings from the EU. Serbian ministers were present after officials had earlier assured that no serving ministers would attend. His coffin was draped in the national flag and his medals were displayed. The EU said glorifying convicted war criminals has no place in the bloc or candidate countries.
