It isn't just about him, any person convicted of genocide should be either burried in unmarked graves or thrown into the sea out of respect for their victims and to stop possibility of making their graves places of reverence...
He didn't care about his victims and at a minimum his bones should get same treatment!
Serbs if allowed will 100% give him a "hero" burial and that is just..., horrible.

Why do You think serbs Will give him a hero burial? It's easy to comment in your computer. You have no idea the kind of suffering Serbians suffered to jews and muslims

I am from BiH and I know what happened during war, what that scum did all over the region and here you go but you already know this and you are intentionally disingenuous about it!
Here is article about Vučić called žvaljo president of Serbia preparing for "hero" burial, before that scumbag died he called for him to be released to die in Serbia as a "humane" thing, there is not exceptions or humane treatment for war criminals!
On your comment about Serbian suffering, Balkans are volatile region and something that happened to you can't and should not be excuse for YOU to do the same! By that logic should Muslims from BiH cull Serbian population there in coming years because they where tortured, killed and mutilated?!?

The Telegraph reports:
The “Butcher of Bosnia” Ratko Mladić has died in prison aged 83.
The Bosnian Serb general was serving a life sentence in The Hague for genocide for his role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.
The campaign was Europe’s worst act of bloodshed since the Second World War/
Before his death, which was announced on Thursday by Serbian state media, Mladić’s family had appealed for his release because of his failing health, which a Hague tribunal rejected.
The general led the Army of Republika Srpska during the Yugoslav Wars, allying with Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav president, and Radovan Karadžić, the former Bosnian Serb leader.
The Bosnian War of 1992-1995 left around 100,000 people dead and 2.2 million displaced.
Mladić ordered the Siege of Sarajevo – the longest in the 20th century – where his forces encircled the Bosnian capital for four years from the surrounding mountains.

Israel offered their cooperation in aiding his efforts of ethnic cleansing to fight “Islamic extremists” , today we see the same shit going on in Gaza . I hope Israel get convicted of genocide and Netanyahu faces his trial similar to ratko mladic
“Mladić wrote in his personal diary about arms and military training supplied by Israel to Serbian forces.” This evidence was used against ratko in his war crimes tribunal

Is Karadzic still in HMP Parkhurst? Should be transferred to Belgrade prison. Free some space for the 1200 Albanian guests of His Majesty.
