OVL-UÇK described Serbia’s attempt to elevate Mladić to the status of a national hero and present his burial as a ceremony of state honor as condemnable.
According to the organization, “portraying a convicted war criminal as a national hero insults every one of his victims and constitutes an open rehabilitation of the ideology that produced genocide.”
In its reaction, OVL-UÇK accused Belgrade of continuing to avoid confronting the past. The organization warned that this approach, in its view, poses a threat to peace in the region.
“The memory and dignity of the victims are not negotiable. Not now, and never,” the statement said.
