Shortly after completing his mandate in the Presidency, Momcilo Krajisnik was arrested in 2000 and extradited to the Hague Tribunal.

Jelavic escaped to Croatia from punishment for several crimes that he is charged by the Prosecution of BiH. Today he lives in Zagreb, where he continues to refuse to report to judicial authorities in BiH.
