What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

The European Commission is monitoring Serbia's application for European Union membership. Tensions escalated following the funeral of Ratko Mladić, prompting EU leaders to describe the support of senior Serbian officials as “deeply regrettable”. Members of the European Parliament called for a re-evaluation of the accession approach, demanding Serbia reject the glorification of war criminals and withhold Schengen concessions.
