Who's Mladic? Sentenced for genocide that started military climbing to Pristina

The court has stated that the defence has not provided sufficient evidence to reverse the 2017 verdict.

However, Mladic had also had sympathies in Kosovo. Even last year at the prime minister's office. As Albin Kurti's adviser, Tsvetko Veljkovic was appointed, who even distributed songs for the infamous Mladic.

Mladic has been sentenced by the International Tribunal in The Hague for genocide (reversed, GENOCID), war crimes and crimes against humanity with the punishment of eternal error.

The 78-year-old was a military commander who had led the Republika Srpska Army (VRS) during the Yugoslavia wars.

In 2011 alone, he was evacuated to The Hague, and his judgment had begun in May 2012.

Yugoslavia Wars

In June 1991, Mladic was promoted as Pristina's Deputy Commander of Troops in Kosovo (then, the Socialist Autonomous District of Serbia) right at the time of high tensions between Albanians and Serbs.

In that same year, he was promoted as Major General. His forces had participated in Croatia's war, more precisely during Operation Bregu-91, in trying to remove Dalmatia from the rest of Croatia that resulted in failure.

In April 1992, Mladic was promoted as Lieutenant Colonel General. On May 2nd 1992, just a month after Bosnia and Herzegovina's declaration of Independence, Mladic and his generals had completely blocked the city of Sarajevo, stopping traffic, as well as water and electricity. This event began the four-year battle in Sarajevo, the longest battle of siege of a modern-era city.

The city was bombed with shells and citizens were shot by trained snipers.

In the city it is estimated that 8 thousand and 300 Bosniaks were killed only by Mladic's orders, which leads him to scale his nickname “The Bosnian Casap”.
