Crimes for which General Stanislav Galic has been convicted "are among the gravest before the Tribunal" and therefore, the prosecution submits in its appeal, he should get the appropriate punishment – the gravest there is.

In its appeal, the prosecution claims that the "cowardly and sinister” nature of the terror campaign against Sarajevo, and the high rank of the accused Stanislav Galic must result in a higher sentence for the former commander of the Sarajevo-Romanija Corps of the VRS. He was sentenced by the Trial Chamber to 20 years in prison.

In its appeals brief, General Stanislav Galic’s defense claims that his conviction for crimes in Sarajevo is completely unfounded and that the former commander of the Sarajevo-Romanija Corps should be acquitted on all counts.
