Ratko Mladić, the Bosnian Serb commander convicted by a UN court of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, was buried in Belgrade on Monday before a crowd of thousands, despite renewed warnings from Brussels against glorifying him — warnings Serbia’s government continues to reject.

In Champagne, growers reaped their earliest harvest on record, racing to pick grapes before rising sugar levels pushed potential alcohol too high. Output there is expected to be roughly halved, with grape bunch weights at their lowest in 20 years.

In Berlin, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz appeared before the press on Monday, together with the CDU’s lead candidate in Saxony-Anhalt, Sven Schulze. “Yesterday’s result has changed not only Saxony-Anhalt, but Germany as a whole,” Merz said following Sunday’s state election results. “We are all profoundly shocked.
