Yugoslav Army's Pristina Corps

Belgrade Appeals Court has confirmed the verdict acquitting former Yugoslav Army brigade commander Pavle Gavrilovic of responsibility for the murders of Kosovo Albanian civilians in the village of Trnje/Terrne on March 25, 1999.

The court however upheld the conviction of his subordinate officer, Rajko Kozlina, sentencing him to 15 years in prison.

Pro-government media outlets have accused US ambassador Kyle Scott of interfering in Serbia's affairs after the diplomat criticised Defence Minister Aleksandar Vulin for praising convicted war criminals.

The daily Vecernje novosti on Friday accused Scott of wanting to control the Serbian government.
