Kosovo trial clears Serbian leader

I still have vivid memory of the crisis in Kosovo during the early part of this decade. Although problems still exist in the area, the former Serbian President Milan Milutinovic no longer presides as a national leader. The UN war crimes tribunal cleared him of all of the war crime charges against him letting him off the hook for some grave injustices that took place under his watch. Even though he was acquitted it leaves a stain on his reputation that five of his former officials were all found guilty of war crimes in Kosovo and have been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
