El Tribunal penal internacional para la exYugoslavia ha condenado a 27 años de prision al mas alto oficial del ejercito Yugoslavo por crimenes de guerra.
General Momcilo Perisic, who commanded the Yugoslav Army during the wars in Bosnia and Croatia, was sentenced to 27 years in prison.
He was convicted of aiding and abetting crimes but acquitted of a direct role in the Srebrenica massacre.
The general, 67, had pleaded not guilty to the accusations.
Smartly dressed, he sat in court taking notes during the reading of the verdict on Tuesday.
Perisic was convicted of aiding and abetting murders, inhumane acts, persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds, and attacks on civilians in Sarajevo and Srebrenica, Judge Bakone Moloto announced.
He was also found guilty of failing to punish his subordinates for their crimes of murder, attacks on civilians and injuring and wounding civilians during rocket attacks on Zagreb in Croatia.
