Judges in The Hague have sentenced two former Bosnian Serb police officers to 22 years in jail for their role in war crimes and crimes against humanity during the break-up of Yugoslavia more than 20 years ago.

They ruled Mico Stanisic and Stojan Zupljanin contributed to a plan to permanently remove non-Serbs from the territory of a planned Serb state in parts of multi-ethnic Bosnia.
