A court in Pristina jailed Skender Bislimi for ten years for torturing Kosovo Albanians with a Serb paramilitary group during the war in 1999.
Pristina Basic Court on Thursday found Skender Bislimi guilty of war crimes against ethnic Albanian civilians in Fushe Kosove/Kosovo Polje and sentenced him to ten years in prison.
The prosecution alleged during the trial that Bislimi and ten Serb paramilitaries put up a checkpoint at a crossroads in Fushe Kosove/Kosovo Polje, where they tortured Kosovo Albanians who had been forced to leave their houses three days after the NATO bombing campaign against Yugoslavia started in March 1999.
