Court jails Serb former policeman for Kosovo killings

Pristina court jails Goran Stanisic for 20 years for partaking in the murder of 13 ethnic Albanians during Kosovo war.

A Pristina court jailed a former Serbian police officer for 20 years for his part in the murder of 13 ethnic Albanian civilians during the 1990s Kosovo war.

A court statement on Tuesday said he had been part of a “large-scale and systematic attack” carried out in 1999 by Serbian police and paramilitary forces against the ethnic Albanian civilians in Sllovi and the neighbouring village of Terbovc, located 25km (15 miles) south of Pristina, Kosovo’s capital.

The court referred to him only by the initials GS, but the Kosovar media identified him as Goran Stanisic.
