The authorities of Serbia and the Republika Srpska of Bosnia and Herzegovina expressed their disagreement with the verdict.The Russian Foreign Ministry called Mladic's sentence hypocritical «His health has deteriorated. Recently, this is especially noticeable. He is so weak that he is unable to walk 30-40 meters on foot and needs help for the most ordinary things. As for the treatment he receives there «We do not have accurate information about what and how he is being treated. He says that they measure his sugar level and pressure, officially we receive only generalized formulations, for example, his condition is stable, participates in the conversation,» Mladic Jr. told the agency .Family and attorneys are very concerned about this marked decline in health and the lack of accurate and detailed information about treatment.» A few months ago, we were informed that he had some kind of surgery for non-cancerous skin growths, and this is all we received. that there are heart problems, and we have been saying for years that they are.So the treatment is inadequate, and he can no longer endure the stay t am physically,» the general's son pointed out.The Russian diplomat commented on the court decision on Mladic: «My mother (Bosilka Mladic — ed.) was there four weeks ago, because of COVID-19 we could not see each other for a long time, the family did not visit him for more than 17 months. Lawyers also did not have access. The other day, for the first time since March 2020, a representative of the defense personally visited him and noted a severe deterioration in his health, which my mother also saw. You don’t have to be a doctor to notice how weak and unwell he is,» said Darko Mladic. President of the Republic of Serbian Bosnia and Herzegovina Radovan Karadzic was transferred on May 26, 2021 from The Hague to a prison in the south of the UK to serve a life sentence. Karadzic's defense opposed the transfer, arguing that in 2010, in a British prison, Muslim prisoners, wanting to avenge fellow believers who died in Bosnia, almost stabbed to death the ex-general of the Bosnian Serb army, Radislav Krstić. According to the son of General Mladic, the question of the possibility of his transfer somewhere is within the competence of the chairman of MOMUT until the family and lawyers are notified of its consideration. «We are currently completely excluded and do not have any information about whether something is planned for this question, or not. But it is absolutely certain that for health reasons it is very difficult for him in the current, familiar conditions, and even more so — if he is transferred to some new and worse, this would be a death sentence for him, «summed up the interlocutor agencies.Darko Mladic: we are waiting for the release of his father, but we are preparing for the revision of the sentence In November 2017, the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) found the general guilty on 10 of 11 counts, including the genocide of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995 and violation of the laws and customs of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992-1995 years. Mladic was sentenced to life imprisonment. In August 2018, the general’s lawyers filed a complaint with the Court of Appeal against the life sentence of the court of first instance, and in August 2020, an appeal hearing was held. Lawyers denied the charges and demanded the release of General Mladic or the cancellation of the verdict and the start of a new trial. The defense of the general, not satisfied with the actions of the ICTY doctors, for two years demanded permission for the examination of the defendant by Russian specialists from the Bakulev Center. Lawyers and family members have repeatedly stated that the ICTY does not provide them with information about the real state of the general’s health, and doctors in the UN prison (detention center in The Hague), according to them, do not provide proper treatment.
