Zoran Vukotic was sentenced to 15 years in prison for war crimes by the Basic Court in Pristina on Tuesday, for the murder of a 13-year-old boy.
The former Serbian police officer was also accused of participating in the Studima massacre as well as a number of killings of civilians.
During the announcement of the verdict, the accused Zoran Vukotic and his defense attorney, Nebojsa Vllajic, were not present.
The Special Prosecution had filed four indictments for war crimes against the civilian population during the period 1998-1999, against the accused Vukotić, but at the proposal of the accused's defense attorney, attorney Nebojša Vllajić, the cases were joined.
