Ratko Mladić, the Serb warlord who terrorised Bosnia in the 1990s, is widely expected to be convicted on Wednesday for the last genocide committed in Europe. The Bosnian Serb political leader, Radovan Karadžić, was convicted of genocide last year for his role in the Srebrenica killings. Brammertz oversaw the successful hunt for Mladić during the general’s last years in hiding and then his marathon prosecution. He said: “The Mladić case has definitely been one of the most important cases at this tribunal. Any sentence less than life for Mladić is likely to trigger protests from survivors and victims’ families.
