Nebojsa Pavkovic, the former chief of the Serb-led Yugoslav army, who was convicted of war crimes during the Kosovo conflict, has passed away at the age of 79. Serbian officials and media confirmed his death on Monday in Belgrade, Serbia’s capital. Pavkovic had been released from a Finnish prison less than a month prior, where he was serving a 22-year sentence for atrocities committed against ethnic Albanians in the 1998-99 war.
