Croats in Hague war crimes trial (BBC)
Three Croatian former generals have gone on trial at the UN war crimes tribunal accused of the persecution and murder of Croatian Serbs in the 1990s.

Ante Gotovina, Ivan Cermak and Mladen Markac deny charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity including persecution, murder and plunder.

Mr Gotovina's capture in the Canary Islands in 2005 led to protests in Croatia, where many see him as a hero.

The Hague trial is due to last more than a year.

The three men are alleged to have played key roles in Operation Storm, a three-month offensive that took place in Croatia's eastern Krajina region in 1995.

1. A lot of Serbs came to the US when things were really bad.
Justice takes a long time. Too long.
