AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A former Bosnian Serb official sentenced to 30 years in jail for organising the expulsion of Croats and Muslims from northwestern Bosnia in 1992 will serve his sentence in Denmark, the Hague Tribunal said on Tuesday.
Former Deputy Prime Minister Radoslav Brdjanin headed theAutonomous Region of Krajina (ARK) Crisis Staff, one of severalcommittees set up by Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic toethnically cleanse Serb-held areas.
The 1992-95 Bosnian war claimed more than 100,000 lives.
The U.N. court found him guilty of aiding the persecution,torture and killing of non-Serbs and also instigating theforcible deportations of the non-Serb population from theKrajina region.
In 2004, he was sentenced to 32 years jail but this wasreduced by two years in 2007 after the appeals chamber reversedhis convictions for torture in camps and detention facilities.
The tribunal said Brdjanin was transferred to Denmark onTuesday, but gave no further details.
