The highly anticipated
final verdict against former Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladić arguably the most infamous war criminal in the Balkans received wall-to-wall coverage across the entire former Yugoslavia on Tuesday.
When the UN court that led the trial against him for ten years upheld his life sentence for turning large swathes of Bosnia into a bloodbath during the war in the 1990s, the region heaved a collective sigh of relief.
Mladić faced two separate counts of genocide and was convicted for one, the summary executions of over 8,000 people in Srebrenica in July 1995. Vlasenica, along with five other municipalities in Bosnia Foča, Ključ, Kotor-Varoš, Prijedor, and Sanski Most were part of the genocide charge he was not convicted for.
