Following the end of the war in BiH, Mladic returned to Belgrade, where he lived freely with the protection of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and was often seen at football matches, in restaurants and enjoying himself on the Montenegrin coast.
Nakon okončanja rata u BiH, Mladić se vratio u Beograd, gdje je živio slobodno i imao zaštitu bivšeg jugoslovenskog predsjednika Slobodana Miloševića i često je viđan na nogometnim utakmicama, u restoranima i kako uživa na crnogorskoj obali.
