Two Bosnian Serb army officers were jailed for life today for genocide at the UN-declared safe zone of Srebrenica in 1995.

SIX former high-level political and military leaders of Serbia and the former Yugoslavia went on trial yesterday for alleged war crimes in Kosovo during the 1998-99 crackdown on ethnic Albanians.

The death of Slobodan Milosevic abruptly and inconclusively ended his trial for war crimes in Kosovo, but he remained a predominant figure in the trial of six Serb politicians and generals that opened in The Netherlands today.
