Author Peter Handke received his Nobel Literature Prize on Tuesday amid criticism of him in
Sweden and abroad as an apologist for Serb war crimes in the 1990s.
Handke accepted the 9 million-kronor ($948,000) award from King Carl XVI Gustaf at a ceremony in Stockholm with the winners of other Nobels except for the peace prize, which was presented in Oslo.
Handke has been a staunch supporter of the Serbs and has disputed that the massacre of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in the town of Srebrenica was genocide.
