Djordjevic, 62, was found guilty of persecution on racial grounds, the forcible deportation of 800,000 Kosovo Albanians, inhumane acts, and the murder of at least 724 people by forces under his control.
He was the head of Serbia's police forces during the 1998-99 Kosovo war.
The court ruled that Djordjevic was a part of a joint criminal enterprise, led by then-Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic, aimed at altering the ethnic balance in Kosovo to the detriment of the majority Kosovo Albanians.
His crimes include the murder of Albanian civilians, their expulsion from their homes and villages, and the torching of their property and shrines.
The forces commanded by Djordjevic were also involved in burying hundreds of murdered civilians in mass graves in an effort to hide the atrocities, the court found."
