Today marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Croatian city of Vukovar into the hands of the former Yugoslav army. The city was captured after a three-month siege and virtually destroyed to the ground by round-the-clock bombing. The first war crimes in Europe after the end of the Second World War were committed here.

The Serbian war crimes prosecution asked for a total of 59 years in prison for eight Serb ex-fighters accused of killing Croatian civilians in the village of Lovas in 1991.

Ten former Serb fighters again pleaded not guilty to the killing of 70 Croatian civilians in the village of Lovas in 1991 as their long-running trial restarted in Belgrade.

A Serbian court restarted the trial for the killing of 70 Croatian civilians in the village of Lovas in 1991 on a technicality because the war crimes prosecutor's office did not have a chief prosecutor for a year-and-a-half.

The UN-backed war crimes court in The Hague has decided to postpone proceedings against former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic indefinitely because he has cancer and is too ill to continue his trial.
