The Pristina District Court acquitted Friday three Serbs from the village of Bostane, eastern Kosovo, of war crimes charges.

Lawyer Dejan Vasic told Tanjug that the brothers Slobodan and Srecko Martinovic and Svetlana Stojanovic were free as of Friday and that there had been no evidence to prove their guilt.

The indictment was raised December 2010. The three were suspected of war crimes against the civilian population committed in Kosovo 1999.

They wee charged with inhumane treatment of two Albanians from Novo Brdo, eastern Kosovo, Seljatin Beciri and Hacif Demoli, who were imprisoned April 17-22, 1999.

The accused denied arresting and beating Demoli and Beciri and the court confirmed that by releasing them.
