THE HAGUE: The Yugoslav war crimes court was Thursday to rule in an appeal brought by two former top Bosnian Serb officials against their conviction and 22-year jail term for their roles in the brutal 1990s war. Mico Stanisic and Stojan Zupljanin were sentenced in 2013 after being convicted of a campaign to rid Bosnia of Muslims, Croats and other non-Serbs during the 1992-1995 conflict. The two men were close associates of one-time Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, who was found guilty in March on charges of genocide and war crimes for his role in the fighting that killed more than 100,000 people and left 2.2 million others homeless. “With a few hours to go before the delivery of the judgement, Mr Stanisic is very nervous,” his defence lawyer Stephane Bourgon told AFP Thursday. Stanisic, 62, a former Bosnian Serb interior minister, and ex-regional security services chief Zupljanin, 64, were convicted of 10 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity including murder and torture.
