US EditionSerbian president accused of joining civilian-killing ‘sniper safaris’ in Sarajevo
Croatian journalist Domagoj Margetic filed a complaint alleging Serbian President Vucic volunteered in Bosnian Serb militia and linked him to wartime sniper safaris targeting civilians.
- Wednesday, Croatian investigative journalist Domagoj Margetic filed a criminal complaint with Milan Prosecutor's Office accusing Aleksandar Vucic of Serbia of involvement in Sarajevo 'sniper safaris', submitting video and photo evidence while Vucic denies any role.
- Long ago during the siege of Sarajevo, which began April 6, 1992, 'sniper safaris' allegedly involved wealthy foreigners paying Bosnian Serb militias under Radovan Karadzic to shoot civilians.
- Documentary and writer investigations produced archival footage showing a young Vucic with a rifle in 1993 at the Jewish cemetery sniper position, as posted by Prof Jasmin Mujanovic, Balkan expert, and corroborated by Ezio Gavazzeni, Italian writer.
- Now, prosecutors are gathering testimonies and footage as the Milan inquiry has revived international attention, but it remains unclear whether Milan prosecutors will formally charge Vucic, while Italian authorities failed to identify shooters.
- Experts say the claims merit cross-border scrutiny, with Margetic urging inquiries in four or five different countries and Italian and other international police agencies, while Balkan experts caution that extraordinary allegations require strong proof.
