JNA General Pavle Strugar was sentenced to 7 and 1/2 years in prison for his role in the shelling of Dubrovnik, Croatia, during the conflict accompanying the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Dubrovnik, known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic” for its historic and beautiful old city, was subjected to a 7-month siege during the war. 2/3 of the buildings in the old city were damaged, and the ICTY alleges that the Serbian and Montenegrin high commands intended to conquer Dubrovnik and make it part of Montenegro.
