The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH) sentenced Marko Plavšić from Banja Luka to one year in prison after he signed a plea agreement with the BiH Prosecutor's Office for threatening Judge Sena Uzunović, who was leading the court proceedings against Milorad Dodik in the case of non-implementation of the High Representative's decisions in BiH.
"Plavšić was convicted because on February 25 this year in Banja Luka, immediately before the pronouncement of the verdict in the Milorad Dodik et al. case, with the aim of intimidation, he made threats in a publicly available video via the social network TikTok to the judge of the Court of BiH, Sena Uzunović, together with Ljuban Vuković, in order to prevent her from performing official actions of leading the main trial in the phase of public pronouncement and publication of the verdict in a criminal case being conducted before the Court of BiH," BIRN reported.
He was sentenced to a sentence below the legal minimum for obstructing the work of the judiciary, and during the sentencing, Judge Dalida Burzić stated that mitigating circumstances had been established - that he had no previous convictions, that he was the father of minor children, and that he immediately expressed remorse and a desire for a plea agreement.
An appeal is allowed against this judgment on the circumstances of the costs of the proceedings.
The proceedings have been separated in relation to Vuković, who is entering a plea of guilty before the Court of BiH today.
Both were arrested the day before the verdict was pronounced against former Republika Srpska (RS) President Milorad Dodik.
Dodik was sentenced by the Court of BiH to a year in prison and a six-year ban on holding public office for failing to implement the decisions of the High Representative, for which the Central Election Commission of BiH (CEC) stripped him of his presidential mandate.
