PRISTINA (AP)--A Kosovo court sentenced three ethnic Albanians for participating in the burning and the looting of a Serb Orthodox church , a U.N. spokesman said Wednesday. The three were part of a crowd that burnt and looted the 14th-century Holy Virgin of Ljevis Church in Prizren, 80 kilometers southwest of Pristina, during anti-Serb riots that rocked Kosovo in March, said Neeraj Singh, a U.N. spokesman. A panel presided by an international judge sentenced Bekim Moskov, Ibrahim Buleci and Talat Pula Tuesday to two years suspended imprisonment, he said. "This means that the sentence won't be enforced, unless they commit another criminal act in the next five years," Singh said. Kosovo plunged into two days of violence in March, after mobs of ethnic Albanians attacked Serbs and their property in this disputed U.N.-run province.
