According to a Amnesty International report published in May 2004, the Tuzla Cantonal Court found the owner of a local nightclub guilty of enslavement in March 2003 and sentenced him to three and a half years in prison. This case is notable because it marks the first conviction in the Federation for enslavement. Previous offenders were charged with the lesser offence of procurement.
