Some individuals, including former director of the Health Insurance Fund Vuk Kadić, publicly celebrated Ratko Mladić, expressing admiration and wishing him eternal peace, indicating a segment of society that still views him as a hero.

Several organizations and political parties strongly condemn Mandić's act, emphasizing that Mladić's conviction for genocide is a legally established fact and that expressing solidarity with him from a high institutional position is a symbolic act that alters the state's relationship with its past.
