Three former Yugoslav army officers charged over a massacre in a hospital in Croatia in 1991 have gone on trial in The Hague.

Veselin Sljivancanin, Mile Mrksic and Miroslav Radic are accused of allowing Serb troops to kill over 250 patients and refugees at the Vukovar hospital.

The three defendants deny murder, torture and persecution.

The capture of Vukovar by the Yugoslav army was a pivotal event in Croatia‘s 1991-1995 war for independence.
