long term imprisonment
This is totally different from life sentence/imprisonment or imprisonment for life.
The Penal Code of Kosovë has three main categories of punishment: life imprisonment, imprisonment and punishment by fine.
Long-term punishment falls under the 2nd category (imprisonment) and differs from the imprisonment for life/life sentence.
