Peric signed a plea agreement with the Bosnian prosecution, admitting the crime, which he committed as a member of the Bosnian Croat police forces.
After accepting his plea, the court sentenced Peric to a year in jail.
According to the verdict, Peric ordered the prisoner out of a garage near the Vojno camp where detainees were being held, and hit him on the head and body.
He then took the boy by the head and bashed him on the floor, the verdict said.
The other prisoners were then told to hit the boy.
“The court looked at the admission of guilt and looked at all the circumstances of the case, and decided to give this minimal sentence,” said presiding judge Lejla Konjic Dragovic.
Peric agreed to pay 5,000 euros in damages to the victim.
The verdict cannot be appealed.
