The two defence teams will each have 90 minutes to present their submissions and the prosecutors will have as much time to respond. After the prosecution's response, the two defence teams will each have 30 minutes to reply, and the two generals have been given ten minutes each to address the judges at the end of the hearing if they so wish.
On 15 April 2011 the Trial Chamber found the two generals guilty of war crimes against Serb civilians, committed by Croatian forces during Operation Storm in the summer of 1995, sentencing Gotovina to 24 years' imprisonment and Markac to 18 years.
