Nebojša Pavković (Serbian Cyrillic: Небојша Павковић; 10 April 1946 — 20 October 2025) was a Serbian convicted war criminal and army general. He was Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Yugoslavia from February 2000 to June 2002. He also was the Commander of Third Army of the Armed Forces of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War, from December 1998 to February 2000.
On 25 April 2005, Pavković turned himself in to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague where he was charged with committing crimes against humanity and war crimes during the Kosovo War.[1][2] On 26 February 2009, the ICTY convicted Pavković of the charges and sentenced him to 22 years in prison.[3] He served his prison time in Finland.[4]
In September 2025, Pavković was transferred to Serbia because of health reasons.[5] He died in Belgrade a month later, on 20 October, at the age of 79.[6]
