Three men were jailed Thursday after an international judge found them guilty of war-crimes in Gjilan. Roberta Clogg, our wonderful apprentice, stumbled upon the decision a couple of days ago while coming back from language class/dinner. Read about her experience here.
From the News:
PRISTINA,
Serbia, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- A district court has sentenced three of
Kosovo's ethnic-Albanian army officers to seven years in jail each for
war crimes against civilians.The Kosovo District Court in Gnjilane, presided by Judge Vioneda
Bolero of an international judiciary team, jailed the three men for war
crimes, including inhuman treatment of civilians in the Kosovo town of
Orahovac in 1998, Belgrade's RTS Serbian radio-television reported
Friday. More.
From what Roberta writes the whole matter was conducted peacefully. Assuming the judge made the right decision, that's good news for Kosovo. I'm thrilled that Kosovar Albanians are coming to terms with their own past, as all people must.
