A former official at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague has been convicted of contempt of court.
French journalist Florence Hartmann, the court's spokeswoman for six years, was fined EUR 7000, the BBC reported.
She was found guilty of disclosing the existence of confidential documents on Serbian government involvement in the Bosnian war of the 1990s.
The documents were discussed in a book and article published by Hartmann.
The confidential documents in question were only released by Belgrade for the trial of the former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic.
The tribunal ruled that it had the right to prevent documents from being leaked and that Hartmann, as a permanent employee, was fully aware of the court's rules and procedures.
"It is necessary to discourage the accused or any person from disclosing confidential information in future," said presiding Judge Bakone Moloto.
