Biljana Plavsic , the former president of the Republic of Srpska, was sentenced today by the Hague Tribunal to 11 years. At the end of the last year, Ms Plavsic, has pleaded guilty to charges of persecution of Bosnian Muslims and Croats. Passing the sentence, the tribunal took into account her confession of guilt, remorse, her behavior after the war, voluntary surrender, and her age. However, Judge May said that the sentence was lenient for someone like Biljana Plavsic.
