important than to attack to look into human rights violations and break the transfer of impunity the hague tribunal is sentenced to a former yugoslav army general to twenty seven years in prison for war crimes per restitch was convicted of abetting atrocities during the balkan war in the one nine hundred ninety s. including the massacre of seven thousand muslims in srebrenica he's one of many ethnic military officials on trial in the hague the ex president of serbia and yugoslavia slobodan milosevic died while in custody balkans political expert michael gast it gives us more perspective on whether mrs coupled with him why there are market good seats a night now the court said that this is the first conviction for war crimes committed in bosnia and herzegovina if he was an army leader does this give us an indication of how the other high profile trials will conclude i'm thinking of bosnian serb leader radovan carriage and its army chief what's your take on it. well we know how those trials are going to go because the script for those trials has been written in advance but i think we need to
