Deputies of the ruling coalition proposed the Law on Amnesty, which would reduce the sentence of those convicted in prison by 15 percent, that is, by 10 percent for those who have not yet served their sentence.
This is stated in the proposal, the adoption of which is requested under a shortened procedure, and which was not signed by the deputies of the Social Democrats, but by DPS, Force, the Bosniak Party, the Croatian Civic Initiative (HGI) and the Liberal Party.
A five percent reduction of the sentence is foreseen for persons who have been unconditionally convicted two or more times.
It is anticipated that persons sentenced to lighter sentences, up to three months, will receive a suspended sentence.
