A Telegraf team visited the grave of Ratko Mladic at the Topcider cemetery today, October 16. Although exactly 39 days have passed since the burial, the scene we found testifies to the fact that the grave site is still being visited daily.

We found a large amount of wreaths on the family tomb, and what is particularly interesting is a handful of completely fresh flowers, which indicates that people are still coming even after more than a month.

The Telegraf team has also been visiting the grave in the previous weeks, where there were large amounts of flowers and wreaths, as well as numerous lighted and burnt candles, since the day of the funeral.

During one of the earlier visits, we also found a shirt that someone had left among the flower arrangements.

On October 5, a 40-day Serbian Orthodox memorial service for Ratko Mladic was held at the Topcider cemetery, which was attended by his son Darko, family members, friends and former comrades-in-arms.

Ratko Mladic died on August 27, 2026 in The Hague, where he was serving a life sentence imposed by the ICTY which found him guilty of genocide in Srebrenica, crimes against humanity and war crimes during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Mladic was laid to rest on September 7 in Belgrade, in the family tomb next to his daughter Ana Mladic, who died in 1994.
