Speaking to Hina, Matic said the accused were given the deserved punishment.
He voiced hope that a higher court will not change the verdict, as was the case in earlier trials for war crimes committed at Ovcara, also in eastern Croatia, bringing into question the entire Lovas trial.
The Belgrade High Court sentenced Ljuban Devetak to 20 years' imprisonment and the other 13 accused to sentences ranging from four to 14 years, finding them guilty of violations of international law and war crimes against civilians.
