French journalist Florence Hartmann - the court's spokeswoman for six years - was fined 7,000 euros (£6,100).

She was found guilty of disclosing the existence of confidential documents on Serbian government involvement in the Bosnian war of the 1990s.

The documents were discussed in a book and article published by Ms Hartmann.

The confidential documents in question were only released by Belgrade for the trial of the former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic.
