Serb man accused of war crimes in Kosovo
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Kosovo prosecutor has brought war crime charges against a Serb man for crimes during the 1998-99 war.
A statement Thursday said the man, identified only as D.T., was accused by an international prosecutor of robbery, destruction and crimes against personal and human dignity.
It said that he was a member of Serb paramilitaries who on March 25, 1999, along with the Serb army attacked the village of Krushe e Vogel, 90 kilometers (55 miles) southwest of Pristina. The civilian population "suffered brutal and illegal murders," the statement said.

About 10,000 people died and about 1,650 remain missing from the war.
A three-month NATO air war in 1999 stopped a bloody Serb crackdown against ethnic Albanian separatists. Kosovo declared independence in 2008 but Serbia does not recognize it.
