Five former top Serbian officials have been found guilty on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Kosovo by a UN war crimes tribunal.

Serbian ex-President Milan Milutinovic was cleared of the charges, which related to the 1990s Kosovo conflict.

Those found guilty include ex-Yugoslav deputy prime minister Nikola Sainovic, former Yugoslav army chief of staff and defence minister Dragoljub Ojdanic.

The sentences handed down at The Hague range from 15 to 22 years.
