The lack of any prior criminal conviction and the defendant's age -- Banovic was 23 when he served at the camp -- were taken into account as relevant mitigating factors, as were his guilty plea and co-operation with the UN tribunal.
To što prije ovoga nije imao kriminalni dosje, kao i godine optuženog -- Banović je imao 23 kada je bio čuvar u logoru -- uzeti su u razmatranje kao relevantne olakotne činjenice, zajedno s njegovim priznanjem krivnje i suradnjom s tribunalom UN-а.
