Summary/Abstract: Recent judgements delivered by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in relation to Ratko Mladić and Prilić et al. confirmed the facts that prove the existence of joint criminal enterprises committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995/6. In the first case, the JCE included persons from political life, military, police and civil authorities of the RS, whereas the second case included the highest-ranking officials of the so-called „Herceg-Bosna‟ as well as the Republic of Croatia, including Franjo Tuđman, Gojko Sušak and others. Relevance of the topic imposes the need for a theoretical and practical interpretation of the joint criminal enterprise as a form of criminal responsibility which, as such, was defined for the first time in history in cases before the ICTY.
