A United Nations war crimes court has sentenced a Serbian ultranationalist to 10 years in prison, partially overturning his acquittal over crimes against humanity and other charges dating to the Balkan wars in the 1990s.

The Yugoslav war crimes tribunal has acquitted Serbian ultranationalist politician Vojislav Seselj of all nine counts alleging that he was responsible for or incited atrocities by Serbian paramilitaries during the Balkan wars.
