ICC, Hague – Croatia claimed the Serbs had committed genocide against the town of Vukovar in 1991. Serbs claimed the same when Croatian forces attacked Kranija four years later.
Judge Peter Tomka said both sides had commited violent acts but ‘neither side had showed the specific intent required for acts of genocide’.
Some 20,000 people were killed during the Yugoslav wars of 1991-95.
