The Kosovo Liberation Army -- the ethnic Albanian guerrilla movement --says it has sentenced two Serb journalists to sixty days in prison.

A KLA statement said the two journalists, Nebojsa Radosevic and Vladimir Dobricic, had been sentenced on Friday by a military court for violating the KLA's code of military and civilian conduct.

It said they had the right to appeal within seven days.

The two Serb journalists, who work for the official Yugoslav news agency Tanjug, disappeared two weeks ago in Magura, thirty kilometres south of the Kosovo capital, Pristina.

Four days later the KLA said they were in their hands and under investigation.
