SARAJEVO, May 31 (FENA) - A member of the BiH Presidency Denis Bećirović will address the media today at 5 p.m. in the BiH Presidency building regarding the verdict in the case before the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague in the retrial of former Serbian state security officials Jovica Stanišić and Franko Simatović after a legal process lasting two decades.
The UN’s International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals in The Hague announced on Tuesday that the verdict on Jovica Stanišić and Franko Simatović’s appeal against their conviction for war crimes in Bosnia will be handed down on May 31.
In June 2021, following a retrial, the court sentenced former Serbian State Security chief Stanišić and his former deputy Simatović to 12 years in prison each for assisting and supporting crimes committed by a Serb unit in the Bosanski Šamac area of Bosnia in 1992.
