Milan Tolić and Dejan Spasojević were sentenced to 10 years and 8 years in prison, respectively, while a third defendant received a suspended sentence. Serbia's Office for Kosovo and Metohija has now condemned the verdicts, calling them a 'draconian punishment' and a 'continuation of terror against Serbs'.
