A Brussels court has sentenced Serbian nationals Veselin Vukotic, Andrija Draskovic and Bozidar Spasic to life imprisonment for the murder of Kosovo human rights activist Enver Hadri in Brussels 26 years ago.

The jury handed maximum jail terms to the three men, sentencing Vukotic and Draskovic as the perpetrators and Spasic as the mastermind of the killing.

Hadri was killed in his car in a drive-by shooting on February 25, 1990 while stopping for a red light in Brussels's municipality of Saint-Gilles.

Media reports have said years of investigation had led to a conclusion the murder was a political assassination organised by intelligence services of the former Yugoslavia and logistically supported by the Belgrade crime underworld.

All three were tried in absentia.
