STOCKHOLM, May 20 (Xinhua) -- A Bosnian Serb war criminal died on Saturday while serving a sentence in a Swedish jail, local media reported on Sunday.

    Miroslav Deronjic, 52, died a natural death, according to Swedish prison authorities.

    Derojnic, a former leading member of Radovan Karadzic's nationalist Serbian Democratic Party, was sent to Kumla Jail last November to serve a 10-year sentence.

    He had been convicted in the United Nations' tribunal in the Hague for crimes against humanity for ordering a massacre in the Bosnian village of Glogova in 1992, in which at least 60 Bosnian Muslims died.

    Christer Isaksson, security director of the Swedish Prison Service, said Deronjic had died "a completely natural death, with his family present."

    Derojnic was not the only Bosnian war criminal jailed in Sweden. Biljana Plavsic, former Bosnian Serb president, is serving a sentence in Hinseberg jail. Sweden has expressed its willingness to receive further war criminals convicted by the court in the Hague.
