United Nations appeal judges have significantly expanded the war crimes sentences of two allies of the late Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic.

Jovica Stanisic and Franko Simatovic were held responsible by judges for involvement in crimes across Bosnia and in one town in Croatia as members of a joint criminal plan to drive out non-Serbs from the areas during the Balkan wars in the 1990s.
