Prosecutors preparing for the war crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic said they were investigating the chief of staff of the Yugoslav army and Serbia’s police chief over alleged atrocities in Kosovo in 1999.

Army chief Nebojsa Pavkovic and head of police Sreten Lukic, promoted to their posts after the conflict, played a key role in Milosevic’s campaign of “ethnic cleansing” against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo in 1999, U.N. prosecutors in The Hague said. Kosovo is a province of Serbia, the main Yugoslav republic.
