BRUSSELS, Sept 4 (Reuters) - The European Commissioner for enlargement Marta Kos on Friday canceled a trip to Serbia after a Serbian government plane took the body of former army commander and convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic,

The 1995 slaughter in Srebrenica was the grisly culmination of a war seeking the “ethnic cleansing” of non-Serbs from Bosnia to create a Greater Serbia.

The Bosnian Serb general oversaw atrocities in Bosnia in the 1990s. He was sentenced to life in prison in 2017.

Ratko Mladić, the Bosnian Serb general who orchestrated the Srebrenica massacre and the siege of Sarajevo during the Balkan wars, has died

The casket, draped in the Serbian flag, was carried from the plane by six soldiers after arriving from The Hague, accompanied by Mladic's son Darko and Serbia's Justice Minister Nenad Vujic. The body was then driven from the airport under police escort, reportedly to a Belgrade military hospital.

The genocide committed in Srebrenica will dominate discussion of Ratko Mladić’s legacy. But a second alleged genocide holds vital lessons for future cases.
