Darko Mladic told the SRNA agency that it happened on Friday, April 10, and that he expects to receive documentation from the healthcare service of the tribunal in The Hague, to understand what exactly happened.

"The general was transferred to the hospital, then they sent him back to the detention unit the same day. He most likely had a mild stroke. They promised us that they would send us that documentation. Apart from the oral conversation with the doctor, we have not received anything. We are waiting for them to send us the results (of medical tests), which they performed the same day, but we have not received anything yet," said Darko Mladic.

According to him, Ratko Mladic is in a very serious condition and can no longer even sit in a wheelchair, and is communicating poorly.

SRNA is reporting that Ratko Mladic has had several strokes and suffers from serious cardiovascular issues resulting in high blood pressure, neurological damage, and kidney disease.

Ratko Mladic has been hospitalized several times and has undergone various medical and therapeutic interventions, including surgeries on his heart and legs.

Ratko Mladic has been held in the detention hospital in The Hague since 2024.
