NEBOJŠA PAVKOVIĆ DIED: Serbian general passed away at the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade!

General Nebojša Pavković died at the age of 79 in Belgrade.

According to Blic, Pavković died at the Military Medical Academy.

As a reminder, he was released on September 28 before serving his prison sentence in Finland in order to receive treatment in Serbia.

General Pavković was sentenced to 22 years in prison by the Hague Tribunal for crimes in Kosovo in 1999, and he was released early by the decision of the International Residual Mechanism in The Hague, due to poor health, in order to continue treatment at the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade.

In 2009, Pavković was found guilty on all counts of the indictment and convicted of deportations, forced displacement, murders, and persecution of Albanian civilians from Kosovo in the first half of 1999. An indictment by the Hague Tribunal was filed against him and other generals at the end of 2003, and in 2005 he was extradited to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague.

Together with him, the former Chief of the General Staff of the Yugoslav Army, Dragoljub Ojdanić, the former commander of the Priština Corps, Vladimir Lazarević, and Police General Sreten Lukić were also convicted.

Pavković was sentenced to 22 years in prison, Lukić to 20, and Ojdanić and Lazarević to 15 each.

The first accused Slobodan Milošević died in detention, while the former President of Serbia, Milan Milutinović, was acquitted of the charges.
