The Prosecutor proposed that the Court of BiH impose a sentence of imprisonment in the duration of one (1) year on the accused Suad Kamerić.
By virtue of signing this Plea Agreement, the accused person has fully admitted the commission of the criminal offense he is charged with by the Indictment of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH.

At the same time, he has confirmed to have entered his plea of guilty voluntarily, consciously and with understanding, and he has taken upon himself an obligation to cover the costs of the criminal proceedings, namely the costs of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH in the amount of BAM 15 and a scheduled amount which will be determined by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, depending on the complexity of the proceedings.
