EU Official Cancels Serbia Visit Over Ratko Mladić Funeral Plans
What happened
EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos canceled a planned visit to Serbia following the death of Ratko Mladić, a former Bosnian Serb military commander convicted of war crimes. Mladić's body was returned to Serbia for burial. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced he would not attend the funeral.
How the coverage differs
Outlets emphasize the EU commissioner's characterization of the funeral arrangements, with NBC News and Bloomberg both quoting or paraphrasing criticism of "glorification" of Mladić. Bloomberg leads with the dual actions of the president skipping the funeral and the EU official delaying her visit, while the Associated Press focuses neutrally on the body being "returned to Serbia for funeral."
