Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has publicly accused the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague of "uncivilized behavior." The strong condemnation was directed at the court's treatment of Ratko Mladić, the former Bosnian Serb general convicted of genocide and war crimes.

Vučić's remarks came in the wake of Mladić's death while serving his sentence in prison. The Serbian president framed the court's actions and Mladić's final days as indicative of a lack of respect or proper conduct, labeling it as uncivilized.

Ratko Mladić was convicted by the ICTY for his role in the Bosnian War, including orchestrating the Srebrenica massacre and the siege of Sarajevo. His death in custody marks the end of a controversial figure's life and legal proceedings, but continues to stir strong emotions and political commentary in the region.
