Serb police took them over around noon at the Merdar crossing on the
Kosovo-Serbia border.
The six prisoners were sentenced to ten-year imprisonment for war
crimes. Their transfer to Serbia was carried out on the basis of an
agreement on the transfer of convicts signed between Yugoslavia and
the UN Mission to Kosovo. Another nine Serb convicts serving
sentences in Kosovo have expressed the wish to be transferred to
prisons in Serbia.
There are another 37 Serb convicts serving sentences in Kosovo
prisons.
