> Thousands of mourners gathered Monday as the body of Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb commander who died while serving a life sentence for war crimes, lay in state. Serbia proceeded with the official homage despite European Union warnings against honoring the man convicted in Europe’s first genocide case since World War II.
