The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court on Friday cut Pantelic’s sentence to 15 years in prison for the killing of the 48 men from Visegrad in the Sokolac municipality on June 15, 1992.

The men who died were in a prisoner convoy which left Visegrad on June 14. They were then separated from the other prisoners and taken to the Paklenik pit, where Bosnian Serb police officers and soldiers shot them or beat them to death. The bodies were then thrown into the pit, from which they were exhumed eight years later.

The court’s appeals chamber did not immediately make public the reason for cutting Pantelic’s sentence.

It also upheld the 20-year sentence handed down to another former Bosnian Serb reservist policeman, Predrag Milisavljevic, for his involvement in the same massacre.

“The appeals filed by the Bosnian state prosecution and defence of Predrag Milisavljevic have been rejected as unfounded in their entirety, while the appeal filed by the defense of Milos Pantelic has been partially upheld,” the court said in a statement.
