Nakon sukoba u BiH, Mladić se vratio u Beograd, gdje je slobodno živio pod zaštitom bivšeg jugoslavenskog predsjednika Slobodana Miloševića i često se pojavljivao na fudbalskim utakmicama, u restoranima i na plažama u Crnoj Gori.
Following the end of the conflict in BiH, Mladic returned to Belgrade, where he lived freely under the protection of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and often appeared at football matches, in restaurants and on Montenegrin beaches.
