Bosna Kasabı Ratko Mladiç'in Ölümü Bildirildi

Summary · AI generated

'Bosna Kasabı' olarak anılan Ratko Mladiç'in 83 veya 84 yaşında hayatını kaybettiği bildirildi. Mladiç, kendisini Sırp halkını Batı'nın saldırısına karşı savunmakla görevli gördüğünü ifade etmişti. Buna karşın 2017'de Bosna'daki savaş suçlarından hüküm giydi ve soykırım suçundan cezaevinde öldü. Uluslararası mahkeme, işlediği suçları 'insanlık tarihinin en iğrenç suçları arasında' olarak nitelendirmişti. Ölümü, Bosna Savaşı'ndaki vahşetin başlıca sorumlularından birinin yargı sürecinin kapandığı anlamına geliyor.

    Ratko Mladic: Serb crusader dubbed 'epitome of evil'

    Netherlands

    Ratko Mladic, the so-called “butcher of Bosnia” who has reportedly died at the age of either 83 or 84, had insisted he was chosen by “fate” to defend the Serb people from a Western onslaught. But he spent his last years in jail for genocide after he was convicted in 2017 for war crimes in Bosnia that the tribunal said at the time were “amongst the most heinous known to humankind”. The most notorious was the massacre of some 8,000 Muslim boys and men in Srebrenica in 1995 — a genocide, the court decided, orchestrated by military leader Mladic and his political comrade Radovan Karadzic. The slaughter — the worst single atrocity in Europe since World War II — led media across the world to dub him “the butcher of Bosnia”. This photograph shows an exterior of the Haaglanden Penitentiary, where former Bosnian Serb army commander Ratko Mladic served his sentence, in The Hague, the Netherlands on August 27, 2026. — AFP Former UN rights chief Zeid Ra’ad al Hussein described him as “the epitome of evil” after his conviction. But most Serbs continued to revere him. “He only defended his people,” Bosnian Serb veteran Ljubo Tomovic told AFP. “To convict him would be a disgrace and a sin,” he said before Mladic’s 2021 verdict. Serbian state broadcaster RTS reported Mladic’s death on Thursday after he suffered several strokes in recent months. He pushed the image of himself as “a simple man” chosen to protect his people. “Fate put me in a position to defend my country that you Western powers had devastated with the help of the Vatican and the Western mafia,” he told his appeal hearing in 2020. Yet he oversaw a siege of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, for more than three years, his snipers and artillery shells killing thousands of men, women and children in the streets and in their homes. And video footage from Srebrenica shows him reassuring a 12-year-old Muslim boy shortly before his soldiers massacre thousands of civilians. At roughly the same time, he is seen returning to a deserted Srebrenica, telling the camera: “We give this town to the Serb people as a gift.” Mladic formed a Serb nationalist triumvirate with Karadzic and ex-Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic that unleashed a wave of ethnic killing in a bid to redraw the map of the region. While Karadzic was the ideologue and Milosevic the wily politician, Mladic was the soldier and his metier was waging war. ‘Narcissistic, conceited’ Mladic had barely drawn breath before his life was indelibly marked by conflict. He was born during World War II in Kalinovik in eastern Bosnia – most accounts say in 1942, but Mladic told the tribunal he was actually born in 1943. His father was killed at the bitter end of the war, fighting for Marshal Tito, the leader who managed to knit together the multi-ethnic state of Yugoslavia and suppress simmering enmities. By most accounts, Mladic always wanted to be a soldier. He left for army training in Belgrade in the early 1960s, becoming an officer by the age of 22 and ascending to be commander of the Bosnian Serb forces in the war. This photograph shows a defaced mural depicting former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic, with a Cyrillic inscription (L) reading “Only God and no one else” in Belgrade, Serbia on August 27, 2026. — AFP Although he was revered by his men, former Yugoslav army spokesman Ljubodrag Stojadinovic once described him as “narcissistic, conceited, vain and arrogant”. During the war, he baffled international negotiators with rambling diatribes on Serbian history. In the closing days of the war, close allies questioned his mental faculties. “I respected General Mladic as a soldier and a man,” the late former Montenegrin president Momir Bulatovic told a 1990s BBC documentary. “But after three years of war, he’d lost contact with reality.” ‘He’s a monster’ Mladic was dismissed from his post after being indicted in 1995, but he evaded capture for another 16 years. At first, he led a life of luxury, pampered by the Serbian military, but the pressure on him mounted after Milosevic fell from power in 2000. He was finally arrested in May 2011 at his cousin’s country house in northern Serbia. His daughter Ana killed herself in 1994 at the age of 23, with some accounts saying she could not bear the shame of the crimes committed by her father, though Mladic’s family dispute this. His last request before being transferred to the court was to visit her grave. During all this time, his reputation grew, his wartime leadership immortalised in murals around Republika Srpska — the Serbian entity within Bosnia. “I think that this verdict propelled general Mladic straight into a legend,” said Republika Srpska leader Milorad Dodik after his life sentence was upheld. “Serbs know that without him our people would have suffered much more.” Others disagree. “Wherever their army came, wherever their boot stepped in, they committed genocide,” said Munira Subasic, president of one of the Mothers of Srebrenica associations.
