Serb ex-mayor in war crimes trial in The Hague
A Croatian Serb has gone on trial at the United Nations war crimes tribunal in The Hague, charged with complicity in a massacre during the war in Croatia.
The defendant, Slavko Dokmanovic, a former mayor of the town of Vukovar in eastern Croatia, faces six counts relating to the killing of more than two-hundred people when the town fell to Serb forces after a siege in November 1991.
Three other ethnic Serbs, who are still at large, are accused with him.
Mr Dokmanovic, who faces a possible life sentence, has denied the charges.
