The Australian surgeon who ended up joining the Kosovo Liberation Army in the late 1990s

CRAIG JURISEVIC:
As the Serb forces swept into Kosovo during the Balkan War in the late 1990s and began their violent campaign of ethnic cleansing, Australian surgeon Craig Jurisevic decided to go there to use his medical skills to help the victims.
