Nakon kraja rata u BiH, Mladić se vratio u Beograd, gdje je slobodno živio pod zaštitom bivšeg jugoslavenskog predsjednika Slobodana Miloševića, te je često viđan na fudbalskim utakmicama, u restoranima, te kako uživa na crnogorskoj obali.
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.
