The Russian Foreign Ministry criticized the Hague tribunal’s treatment of former Bosnian Serb leader Ratko Mladić, who recently died in UN detention, calling it evidence of political bias.

Munira Subašić, a representative of genocide victims' associations, spoke in Sarajevo after a meeting with Serge Brammertz, Chief Prosecutor of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals. She highlighted the disparity between Ratko Mladić's family having a grave and mothers who have not received any remains of their children.

Pejić Sremac stated that the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) demonstrated that no one can be exempt from criminal responsibility. This remark was made in reference to the significant war crimes proceedings held in the tribunal's authentic courtroom.

Serbia has requested at the UN Security Council to take over some functions of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT), which handles the remaining work of the ICTY and ICTR. This move aims to transfer certain responsibilities of the Hague Mechanism to Serbian jurisdiction.
