The then Prime Minister of the Croat Community of Herceg-Bosna, Jadranko Prlic, was sentenced to 25 years in prison, Defence Minister Bruno Stojic to 20, the Commanders of the Croat Defence Council (HVO), generals Milivoj Petkovic and Slobodan Praljak, to 20 years, HVO Military Police Commander Valentin Coric to 16 and the head of the Office for Exchange of War Prisoners, Berislav Pusic, to ten years in prison.

The prosecution asked for 40-year sentences for Prlic, Stojic, Praljak and Petkovic, 35 years for Coric and 25 for Pusic. The defence argued that they be acquitted.

The ICTY ruled that a joint criminal enterprise allegedly led by Croatia's president, the late Franjo Tudjman, with the aim of ethnically cleansing the area under the control of Herceg-Bosna and creating a Greater Croatia, was conducted.
