Balkans war crimes trial begins in Austria

A trial has begun in the Austrian city of Linz in which a Bosnian Muslim man faces allegations that he took part in the massacre of Serb civilians in Bosnia at the start of the wars in the former Yugoslavia.

Most of the high-profile trials and convictions following those wars have been against Serbs for crimes committed against Bosnians.

Peggy Giakoumelos is speaking to our correspondent in Austria, Kerry Skyring.
