Jovica Stanišić and Franko Simatović lose appeal at The Hague over crimes in 1990s Balkans wars
Two former senior Serbian security officers have had their convictions for war crimes upheld and widened by a tribunal in The Hague, in the last major war crimes trial from the conflicts in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia.
UN judges significantly expanded the convictions of two allies of the late Serbian president Slobodan Milošević, holding them responsible for involvement in crimes – across Bosnia-Herzegovina and in one town in Croatia – as members of a joint plan to ethnically cleanse non-Serbs from the areas during the 1990s wars in the Balkans.
