Members of the Serbian Radical Party and their supporters, many dressed in T-shirts with images of the Bosnian Serb army general, Saturday waved nationalist flags and shouted nationalist slogans.
The crowd cheered when the party's secretary Aleksandar Vucic posted a fake street sign reading Ratko Mladic's Boulevard on the street recently named after assassinated pro-western Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic. No arrests were made at the rally.
A Serbian court on Wednesday convicted 12 people for the assassination of the late prime minister.
The Serbian Radical Party won the most votes in the January election, but not a parliamentary majority. The party's leader, Vojislav Seselj, is a war crimes suspect, jailed in The Hague.
Mladic has been at large for more than a decade after the Hague-based international war crimes tribunal indicted him for his role in the 1995 genocide of eight thousand Srebrenica Muslims. Many nationalists Serbs consider him a hero.
Mladic's arrest is a key condition for Serbia's candidacy to join the European Union.
