By sentencing admirals Pavle Strugar and Miodrag Jokic, we closed the Dubrovnik case, and there will be no new investigations and indictments in this case, said del Ponte, who was in Podgorica on Tuesday and Wednesday.
On Monday the tribunal's trial chamber sentenced Pavle Strugar to eight years in jail for the 1991 shelling of the southern Croatian city of Dubrovnik. Jokic, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment in 2003.
Del Ponte did not rule out a possibility that national courts might continue investigations into Yugoslav Peoples' Army (JNA) attacks on the historic Croatian city in 1991.
