Article 81. Parole
1. Parole may be applied to persons who serve their sentences of correctional labor, or service
restrictions for military servants, or restraint of liberty, or custody of military servants in a
penal battalion, or imprisonment. A person may also be fully or partially paroled from serving
his/her additional punishment.

(1) not less than one-half of the term imposed by a court for a minor or medium grave
offense, and also for a reckless grave offense;
(2) not less than two-thirds of the term imposed by a court for an intended grave
offense or reckless special grave offense, and also where that person had previously
served a sentence of imprisonment imposed for an intended offense but committed
another intended offense before the conviction was canceled or revoked and had been
sentenced for that offense to imprisonment;
(3) not less than three quarters of the term imposed by a court for an intended special
grave offense, or of the term imposed on a person who had been previously paroled

2. Where the remaining part of a primary sentence is commuted, the sentenced person may
also be discharged from the additional punishment of deprivation of the right to occupy
certain positions or engage in certain activities.
