Pursuant to the Plea Agreement, a sentence of imprisonment for a term of one (1) year was proposed for the accused, along with a fine in the amount of BAM 10,000 as an accessory punishment, which the accused is obliged to pay within fifteen days from the day the Judgment of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, handed down pursuant to this Plea Agreement, becomes final.

In accordance with the Plea Agreement, unlawful material gain in the amount of EUR 1595 and BAM 40 will be confiscated from the accused, as well as the instrumentalities used in the perpetration of the criminal offence.

The proposed sentence is consistent with the role and responsibility of the accused in the perpetration of the criminal offence.
