After retrial, the Third Instance Chamber reduced the sentence implementing the Criminal Code of the former Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia as a more lenient one, instead of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2003.
The retrial ensued after the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina found that the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina was wrongly implemented and abolished the sentence.
Kapic, former member of the Third Corps of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was found guilty in June 2010 of the murder of four Serb prisoners of war committed in 1995 in the territory of Sanski Most.
After the Constitutional Court decided it was a legal error, Kapics serving of the sentence was stopped on July 9 this year.
