In mid-March, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) sentenced Hadzihasanovic, the former commander of the Bosnian Army's 3rd Corps, to five years in prison, and his subordinate Kubura to two and a half years on grounds of command responsibility for cruel treatment, murders and looting committed against Croats and Serbs in central Bosnia.
According to a press release issued by Bosnia's three-man presidency on Tuesday, Jovic sent a letter to the ICTY officials informing them that he was flabbergasted at the lenient punishment of the two Bosniak officers.
Jovic said that he had witnessed the suffering of Bosnian Croats in the operation zone commanded by the two convicts and could not understand that nobody would answer for it.
The ICTY failed to find Hadzihasanovic accountable for the killing of a single Croat civilian although 412 were killed in the zone controlled by the Bosnian Army 3rd Corps, he said.
He noted that the ruling did not tackle the problem of the ethnic cleansing of over 100,000 Croats in central Bosnia or the issue of 49 Muslim-run detention camps.
