The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court on Tuesday confirmed the sentence handed down to Kovacevic, a member of an armed group which later became the Interventions Squad of the Croatian Defence Council’s 101st Bosanski Brod Brigade.

In May last year, Kovacevic was found guilty of killing two people in Sijekovac in the Bosanski Brod municipality on March 26, 1992, and mistreating of Serb civilians who were taken from their homes after the attack on the village, and of participating in the pillaging of Serbs’ houses in April that year.

The appeals chamber revised part of the verdict to take into account the time Kovacevic spent in custody before his extradition from Sweden, where he was arrested in December 2010.

The verdict is final and cannot be appealed.
