Sarajevo siege commander sentenced to 33 years jail
The UN tribunal sentenced a former Bosnian Serb general to 33 years imprisonment on Wednesday for ordering the deadly shelling of Sarajevo and terrorising its civilians during the 1992-1995 Bosnia war. Judges found Dragomir Milosevic guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity that include responsibility for terror, murder, and indiscriminate attacks on civilians by troops of his unit of the Bosnian Serb Army.

“The evidence presents an horrific tale of the encirclement and entrapment of a city and its bombardment,” said Judge Patrick Robinson. Milosevic became commander of the unit in August 1994, taking over from Stanislav Galic, a former Bosnian Serb general already sentenced to life imprisonment for his role in the siege.

Judge Robinson said it was under Milosevic’s command that modified air bombs, highly inaccurate weapons, were first used and he decided on the placement of bomb launchers. “Each time a modified air bomb was launched the accused was playing with the lives of the citizens of Sarajevo.”
