Shushnjar, 64-year-old, has been convicted of theft and illegal detention of civilians in this incident, in which 26 people were killed near the eastern town of Visegrad, where there has been a two-year-old baby among the dead.
Some Bosnian Muslims were kidnapped after an attack on the village of Coritnik. They were then sent to a house with explosive devices on fire.
The court has found that Shushnjar and other soldiers in the Bosnian Serb army have shot at this house, preventing the escape of persons who have been inside.
Sushnja lived in France for years before being arrested at Bosnia's request.
In 2012, Bosnian Serbs Milan and Sredoje Luqik have been sentenced by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia to life sentence, respectively, 27 years in prison for the same crimes.
