Serbia's former secret police chief Jovica Stanisic is accused of backing paramilitary groups behind a reign of terror in Bosnia and Croatia
Two former Serbian spy chiefs in Slobodan Milosevic's regime face a UN court verdict Wednesday in a retrial on charges of running death squads in the 1990s Balkans wars.
Jovica Stanisic, 70, the former head of Serbia's state security service, and his deputy Franko Simatovic, 71, could get life sentences if found guilty of five charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes.
The pair, who deny the charges, allegedly backed paramilitary groups behind a reign of terror in Bosnia and Croatia as they tried to force non-Serbs out of towns and villages.
