Former Bosnian Serb fighter Cvetkovic was found guilty of the murder of Roma civilians Alaga and Mejra Halilovic in the village of Kolonija, near Srebrenica.

The judge at the original trial said both were disabled and one was bedridden when Cvetkovic shot them with an automatic rifle.

He was also convicted of the rape of a minor and a 20-year-old woman in Bratunac.

Lamija Tiro, legal adviser at the Trial International NGO, welcomed the court’s decision, saying that it was “another indication that perpetrators of serious crimes, regardless of the length of time since the war, must still face justice”.

The verdict cannot be appealed.
