The accused Vladas Savulis, born in 1984 in Lithuania, a citizen of Lithuania, signed a Plea Agreement in the presence of his attorney and a certified court interpreter, admitting his guilt for the commission of the criminal offence of Smuggling of Persons, referred to in Article 189 of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Given that the accused fully admitted to committing the crime in question, that is, he admitted to have smuggled, in a truck and a trailer he was driving, illegal migrants- foreign citizens from Syria, Bangladesh, Iraq and Iran, who did not meet the conditions for a legal entry, stay in, and exit from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a prison sentence of one year was proposed for the said accused.

Moreover, confiscation of unlawful material gain in the amount of EUR 500, which was found and confiscated from the accused, was also proposed.

The proposed sentence is consistent with the role and responsibility of the accused in the execution of the said criminal offence, as well as with the judicial practice and the sanctions that are normally imposed for the said criminal offence.

By signing the Plea Agreement, the accused waived his right to a trial, as well as his right to appeal against the judgment handed down by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the basis of this Plea Agreement.

If the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina accepts this Plea Agreement, the case will be completed in its entirety without conducting hearings, trials or court proceedings.
