from a mass grave at Ovcara pig farm.

BELGRADE, Serbia -- Serbia's war crimes court convicted a Croatian Serb on Tuesday for his role in the 1991 torture and killing of 200 Croatian prisoners at a pig farm during the Balkan conflicts.
Damir Sireta was sentenced after a six-month trial to serve 20 years in prison for war crimes.
He was the 14th former paramilitary convicted for the killings near the eastern Croatian town of Vukovar during Croatia's 1991-95 war for independence from the former Serb-led Yugoslavia - one of the worst massacres of POWs during the Balkan wars of the 1990s.
Serb paramilitary units seized the victims from the Vukovar hospital and took them to a nearby pig farm. They then tortured the POWs before separating them into groups of seven or eight, spraying them with machine-gun fire and dumping their bodies into a mass grave. Those showing signs of life were shot in the head, according to the verdict.
The 13 others convicted were sentenced in March to prison terms of five to 20 years.
Sireta was tried separately after being extradited from Norway, where he had been living since 1998 after his indictment.
The case has been seen as a test of the Serbian judiciary's ability to punish Serbs responsible for atrocities committed during the wars under former President Slobodan Milosevic.

What? Why, this is impossible! Only Serbs suffer in the Balkans, no one else!
Yes, I’m being sarcastic.
Paramilitary.
Not Yugoslav soldier.
Thanks for posting.
Sarcastic usually doesn't equate to 'stupid', but you are the exception once again.
Tell me again about how you don't hate Serbs?
Now, about those thugs from the Medac Pocket...
Ugh..what?...Vladimir you are waking me up in the middle of the night when I'm trying to get some sleep...
I have guard duty tomorrow because I'm protecting Mladic`.
Oh, yes, I'm being sarcastic.
Now, I'm going to roll over and go back to sleep, Mkay.
Fool.
Oh where oh where can he be?

Are you sure your only a FORMER lib?
“Tell me again about how you don’t hate Serbs?”
I don’t hate Serbs. I do find the girlish whining like yours, however, to be emblematic of all the problems in the Balkans.
Your posting history says otherwise.
Ok, we know you were just joking.
‘Cause everyone knows that I’m protecting Mladic tomorrow!
Funny that some tools would believe that crapola, huh?

Not in the least. I just think all of the major peoples of the Balkans are guilty of horrible crimes in the last century. All of them.
Well then, I guess I’ve just somehow managed to miss all of your posts calling the Roman Catholic Croats and the Muslim Bosniacs, Albanias, and ‘Kosovars’ to task then.
If it’s possible to imagine such a thing, that is.

Yep, you have missed them.
“If it’s possible to imagine such a thing, that is.”
It’s easy enough to imagine. From what I’ve seen you miss quite a bit.
Then you’ll have no problem pointing one out!

Why don’t you just point out where I was supposedly so unfair to Serbs instead?
This false accusation of yours is a long standing problem you have. Look at this from almost a year and a half ago (February 21, 2008):

In other words, once again, you can’t prove what you claim about me. You have failed every single time I have asked. Every single time.
“I’ll pass on commenting on this doggerel.”
You’ll ignore my posts because you know you can’t prove what you claimed. Same old, same old.

Same old, same old.
When you post to a thread about the Balkans, you’re always bashing the Serbs.
Point it out?
Read any post of yours on a Balkans thread! Clearly a ‘long standing problem’ of your own.

Then you should be able to post NUMEROUS examples. How about it?
“Point it out?”
Yes.
“Read any post of yours on a Balkans thread! Clearly a ‘long standing problem’ of your own.”
EPIC FAIL on your part. As always you fail in what should be the simplest of tasks: proving that you’re telling the truth.
Look at your sarcastic, hate-filled entrance to this thread.
Case closed, you’ve lost again.
Now attempt to conceal your shame by bragging that you’ve proved something. That always convinces....well, you, it seems.

I looked again at the post and definitely see the sarcasm - after all I said I was being sarcastic. There’s no hatred there at all, however.
“Case closed, you’ve lost again.”
Ive never lost against you. Remember, you have failed REPEATEDLY to prove this bizarre claim of yours. Why is that? You keep making it and have never once been able to substantiate it. Not once.
“Now attempt to conceal your shame by bragging that you’ve proved something.”
You’re the one who seems ashamed. I have done nothing whatsoever to be ashamed of. And you’re the one who keeps proving something here - by your failures.
