On Friday, The International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia ordered the release of Ante Gotovina and Mladen Markac. All of their previous convictions were reversed. Last year, the same court found Markac and Gotovina guilty of ethnic cleansing between July and September of 1995. Gotovina was sentenced to twenty-four years in jail and Markac was sentenced to eighteen years. The decision to release the war criminals was based on the fact that the court's appeals chamber was unable to find the existence of a joint criminal enterprise. The President of Serbia issued a statement that said that the decision would only open old wounds.
