Army chief surrenders to UN war crimes court

A former Yugoslav army chief wanted by the UN war crimes tribunal today agreed to surrender to the Netherlands-based court after spending several weeks in hiding, the Serbian government said.

Retired Gen. Nebojsa Pavkovic, wanted for atrocities committed during the 1998-99 Serb crackdown on ethnic-Albanian separatists in Kosovo, decided to give himself up voluntarily, a Cabinet statement said.
