Serbia Hero Or Traitor
Wartime Serb army Gen. Vlado Trifunovic gestures during an interview with The Associated Press, in Belgrade hotel room, Serbia, Friday March 19, 2010. Serbia this week dropped charges against Trifunovic, who was declared a traitor by Slobodan Milosevic's nationalist regime for refusing to obey orders to fight and instead negotiated his way out of a Croat armed siege of his military barracks. But Croatia has sentenced him in absentia to 15 years in prison for war crimes, including the death of two of its civilians. Slovenia has also charged him for the deaths of civilians during clashes at the start of the ex-Yugoslavia war in 1991. (AP Photo/Darko Vojinovic)
