> The Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague convicted four former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders of war crimes committed during the 1998–99 Kosovo War. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic criticized the court for not finding crimes against humanity and for failing to fully address crimes against Serbs, while a Serbian lawyer praised the ruling for individualizing criminal responsibility and recognizing victims’ rights.
