Serbia’s current president is accused of involvement in Sarajevo ‘human safaris’ where foreign tourists paid to be snipers and kill civilians

The scandal surrounding alleged ‘human safaris’ during the siege of Sarajevo has escalated, with the fresh allegation that Serbia’s current president participated in the hunting trips of unarmed civilians.

Aleksandar Vučić, who took office in 2017, has been accused of taking part in grotesque expeditions where wealthy foreign tourists would shoot at people with snipers during the four-year Bosnian Serb siege of the city in the 1990s.

Between 1992 and 1996, more than 10,000 people were killed in Sarajevo by shelling and sniper fire in the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare. 

Prosecutors in Milan have opened an investigation into Italian tourists who allegedly paid between £70,000 and £88,000 to take part in the violence and shoot at innocent civilians for fun, paying more to target children. 

Croatian investigative journalist Domagoj Margetic has written to the prosecutor’s office in Milan alleging that Mr Vučić participated in and facilitated sniper tourism in Sarajevo, claims the politician has previously denied.

The allegation against the Serbian President has been echoed by Serbian lawyer Čedomir Stojković, who is putting pressure on magistrates in Belgrade to launch an investigation. 

In his letter to prosecutors in Milan, Mr Margetic cites a video from 1993 which he claims showed Mr Vučić carrying a sniper rifle alongside other armed men.

The group, Mr Margetic claims, was stationed at a Jewish cemetery located on a hillside overlooking Sarajevo that was utilised as a frontline position for Serbian snipers.

In his letter, Mr Margetic claims the Serbian President was a ‘war volunteer’ in the besieged city in 1992 and 1993, and a member of the New Sarajevo Chetnik Detachment of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), led by commander Slavko Aleksić.

As evidence of this claim, he cites a snippet from a purported interview Mr Vučić did with the Serbian magazine Duga in 1994, where he appears to have said: 

‘When the war in Bosnia began, I went to Serbian Sarajevo and signed up as a volunteer. I was not a member of the party, I simply went. I knew some friends and that’s why I went to defend [the Serbians].’

Mr Vučić goes on to say he spent time at the Jewish cemetery – the same graveyard which supposedly features in the footage of him with armed men.

The journalist also cites evidence given by Vojislav Seselj, the founder of the hard-right Serbian Radical Party, testifying in The Hague during the defence of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic in 2013.

During his testimony, Mr Seselj said Mr Vučić was part of the military detachment in Sarajevo, according to court summaries published by the SENSE Transitional Justice Centre.

Hague prosecutors during the United Nations-led ad hoc international criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia found that there was ‘ample evidence’ to show that Aleksić commanded a unit of Serbian Radical Party (SRS) volunteers based at the Sarajevo Jewish cemetery from April 1992 until at least September 1993.

In the letter to Milan magistrates, the journalist also cites the claims of Zukan Helez, Bosnia’s minister of defence, who has said that members of the VRS told him they witnessed Mr Vučić firing on Sarajevo residents from the Jewish cemetery.

Mr Vučić has previously denied that he ever shot at anyone in Sarajevo, and that he was working in the Pale, 11 miles east of the city, as a journalist in the early 1990s.

‘I can’t listen to nonsense and lies,’ he said to Bosnian news channel Face TV in 2021.

‘I didn’t shoot, but I was at Pale, doing my job.’

He also claims the object he carried in the video was an umbrella, not a rifle. 

Mr Helez has dismissed the Serbian President’s denials. ‘His excuse that in the footage taken on the frontlines above besieged Sarajevo he was holding an umbrella and not a rifle is a blatant lie,’ he told The Sarajevo Times.

‘Recently, I spoke with three members of the VRS who admitted to me that they were at the Jewish cemetery at the same time as Vučić and that the current President of Serbia was firing on Sarajevo residents with a sniper rifle,’ he said in December last year.

In his letter, Mr Margetic alleges that not only did Mr Vučić participate in the ‘safaris’ personally, he also provided logistical support for the trips, including acting as a translator between the foreign hunters and the Serbian forces.

‘There is more and more evidence that Aleksandar Vucic was part of the “Sniper safari” during the siege of Sarajevo,’ Mr Stojković, a Serbian lawyer wrote on Facebook.

‘Vučić absolutely certainly knew what was going on, and he was a part of it, one way or another.’

‘Despite the increasingly intense evidence – the public prosecutor’s office in Belgrade does not launch an investigation,’ he wrote in another post, condemning Serbian authorities for not probing the allegations.

Globalist Push To Destabilize Serbia

The streets of Novi Sad descended into chaos on Friday evening, but behind the smoke of tear gas and the chants of demonstrators lies a deeper story of foreign interference and a coordinated campaign to undermine Serbia’s democratic institutions.

What began in November 2024 as a student-led protest following the tragic collapse of a canopy at the Novi Sad train station—an accident that claimed 16 lives—has, in recent months, been manipulated into a political movement far removed from its original cause. While citizens initially sought accountability for the disaster, the protests have since been redirected into demands for the government’s resignation and snap elections. President Aleksandar Vučić has firmly and rightly rejected these demands as unconstitutional.

According to Serbian officials, Friday’s violence in Novi Sad was not a spontaneous outbreak but the result of deliberate escalation by agitators encouraged and supported from abroad. Police reported “massive attacks” from masked demonstrators who threw flares and stones at officers, forcing them to respond with riot control measures. In the clashes, dozens were injured, 42 protesters detained, and 13 police officers wounded. Authorities maintain that the use of force was measured and necessary to restore order.

Meanwhile, international actors have wasted no time in aligning themselves with the protest movement. European Green Party leaders traveled to Belgrade to express solidarity with the demonstrators, fueling accusations that Brussels and its affiliates are attempting to topple Serbia’s government outside the ballot box. Vučić himself condemned these interventions as attempts to impose a “colored revolution” on Serbia—a tactic long used by globalist networks to destabilize states that resist their agendas.

The symbolism of Saturday’s Pride march in Belgrade was also not lost on observers. Though peaceful, it was framed by its organizers as a political statement against the government and its security forces. Banners declaring “Gays against police state” and the student movement’s rallying cry “Pump it up!” revealed a deliberate merging of causes into a single anti-government front, echoing the strategies of Western-backed protest coalitions elsewhere.

Political Scientist Warns Color Revolution Underway In Serbia

Perko Matovic, a Serbian political scientist and a former advisor to the country’s Prime Minister warns that a Color Revolution is underway in Serbia, adding that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is leading a struggle against foreign-backed unrest, in defense of democracy and national sovereignty.

In an article published in the Turkish publication, Daily Sabah, Matovic wrote, “The events that have been transpiring in Serbia over the last few months are a clear example of a planned Color Revolution aimed at overthrowing the government without holding elections, completely undermining the democratic process and the will of the Serbian people.”

The Serbian political scientist drew parallels with the 2016 attempted coup in Turkey that sought to overthrow the regime of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “They attacked Erdoğan because he embodies a sovereign and patriotic leadership style and does not take orders from foreign powers,” he wrote. “He always puts the interests of his people first, works to improve Türkiye’s influence in the world and actively revives the Turkish economy through his policies.”

LRAD Cannon ‘Sonic Weapon’ Allegedly Deployed Against Protesters in Serbia

Footage out of Serbia over the weekend captured the moment a suspected military-grade sonic weapon was deployed to disrupt protests, reports claim.

Video from a peaceful anti-government demonstration in Belgrade on Saturday showed hundreds of thousands of attendees standing in the streets participating in a silent protest, as a loud jet engine-like noise roared through the streets prompting demonstrators to flee in panic, with some reporting hearing loss.

“Somewhere behind us it suddenly sounded like a building or a huge block of stone had fallen from the sky,” one of the demonstrators told Serbian news site Raskrikavanje. “Me and my friend immediately looked at each other and asked – what’s going on?”

They went on to describe: “You have the feeling that it is coming towards you, that something is going to step on you from behind, so you run from the side – and yet you have the feeling that you will die anyway because it is huge and it will cut us all down”.

100,000 Protest in Belgrade, Serbia Demanding Democratic Leadership Step Down – Pro-EU Activists Caught on Video Plotting Violence before Rally – Government Fires Stun Grenades at Crowd

On Saturday, March 15, 2025, an estimated 100,000 Serbians and others held one of the largest protests in Belgrade in history.

The demonstrators called on the democratically elected government led by President Aleksandar Vucic, to step down. The protesters accused the government of corruption.

In truth, Serbia officially aspires to EU membership, but the current leadership is strengthening its ties with Russia and China. This is forbidden for The EU called for the safety of protesters and the avoidance of violence. The opposition is likely to support integration with the EU, but its position on Ukraine remains unclear.

President Aleksandar Vucic is expected to address the nation at 10 PM.

EYES ON SERBIA: Opposition Politicians and Students are Plotting Secret Coup and CIVIL WAR – With Likely Outside Assistance – Starting with Saturday’s Protest – PLANNING SESSIONS CAUGHT ON AUDIO

Last May, lawmakers in Serbia elected a new government with several pro-Russian ministers.

Two of the current regime’s ministers are pro-Russian and were sanctioned by the Biden regime. President Aleksandar Vučić refused to join Western sanctions against Russia while allowing Moscow propaganda outlets such as RT and Sputnik to spread their narrative throughout the Balkans.

The current Serbian government is not a member of the EU but has requested a formal bid to join the Union.

Of course, the tyrants and globalists running the EU will not stand for such irreverent treatment from a future member state.

So what does the EU and Washington do when a smaller, weaker, and independent country gets out of line? They run a coup and eliminate the current regime, of course.

The US has plenty of experience overthrowing and replacing regimes with more compliant leaders.

This Saturday – just hours from now – protests are planned in Serbia against the sitting, democratically elected government. The protesters do not approve of the current leadership’s positions especially its standing on the Ukraine-Russia War.

Serbian News B92.net broke an explosive report on the planned protests tomorrow in Belgrade, Serbia.

B92.net is reporting the opposition politicians and students are plotting a secret coup that may erupt into civil war!

The Serbian news outlet B92.net posted exclusive photos of the opposition protesters as they plot their coup against the current independent regime.

Serbian Opposition Throw Smoke Grenades and Tear Gas at Fellow Members of Parliament — One Lawmaker in Critical Condition

Things may get heated in Congress, but never do they fall apart like this.

Opposition lawmakers in Serbia threw smoke grenades and tear gas at fellow parliamentarians in a show of opposition to the government and to express their support for current student protests.

The demonstrations were a response to the collapse of a roof at a train station several months ago that killed 15 people and now threatens to bring down the country’s government.

The attack took place during a legislative session after the ruling coalition, led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), approved the parliamentary agenda.

As the agenda was approved, several opposition politicians rushed toward the parliamentary speaker, clashing with security guards.

Other individuals then threw smoke grenades and tear gas, covering the room in black and pink smoke.

Two people were injured by the attack, according to House Speaker Ana Brnabic, with one suffering a stroke and currently in critical condition.

“The parliament will continue to work and to defend Serbia,” she told the session.

Serbian Police Raids NGOs Funded by USAID, Investigates Abuse of Funds and Money Laundering After Trump Administration Froze Agency’s Shady Activities

We have been writing here on TGP about how, in today’s Europe, any leader who doesn’t engage in the West’s push against Russia has been considered potentially an enemy – just ask much-maligned Hungary’s Viktor Orbán or Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, who was shot several times by an angry pro-Ukraine activist back in May 2024, and barely survived the vicious attack.

The same kind of pressure has been felt by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and his populist government, who kept a good bilateral relation with Russia and shunned most of the Globalist package of ruinous policies.

Because of that, the Soros-USAID NGOs have weaponized an accident – the collapse of a concrete overhang on a train platform – and unleashed a national mass movement against the Serbian Government that has already cost the job to Prime Minister Milos Vucevic.

But President Vučić stood firm, and now, in the new world post-Donald J. Trump’s return to the US Presidency, he is taking the fight to the Globalist crooks.

‘Red Hand’ Revolt in Serbia: People Power or Color Revolution?

For six weeks now, Serbia has been rattled by what purports to be a student rebellion, leading to the prime minister’s resignation last week and rumors of a snap election. Students from sixty-three colleges of five state and two private universities, as well as four high schools, have emerged as the biggest challenge to the Progressive Party rule – and fueled rumors of yet another “color revolution.”

On Thursday, thousands of students rallied in the capital, Belgrade, and set out to Novi Sad – the second-largest city in Serbia and the site of a tragedy that has served as the trigger for the entire crisis. The concrete canopy of the Novi Sad railway station, built in 1964 but recently renovated as part of a bullet-train project, collapsed on November 1 and killed fifteen people.

Serbia is the largest of the six successor states of the former Yugoslavia (Kosovo, a breakaway Serbian province that the United States and its allies consider the seventh, doesn’t count). Belgrade has no intent of joining NATO, which bombed Serbia in 1999 to occupy and detach Kosovo, and officially aspires to join the European Union – but has so far refused to go along with the bloc’s sanctions regime against Russia.

All of this has obviously made Serbia a place of considerable interest to Moscow, Beijing, Brussels and Washington alike. President Aleksandar Vucic has managed to parlay his balancing diplomacy into a flow of infrastructure and industrial investments, such as the high-speed train project to the Hungarian border.

Opposition parties backed by the West have long accused the Progressives of skimming funds from these construction projects – as they have done while in power – and quickly seized on the Novi Sad tragedy to demand resignations and arrests. They followed the same playbook as in 2023, when a mass shooting at a Belgrade school was harnessed into “Serbia against violence” protests to demand regime change. Vucic responded at the time by calling a snap election, which the Progressives easily won, however.

At first the Novi Sad protests looked like another street performance that would fizzle out. Everything changed when students of two Belgrade university schools walked out of class on November 21. The following day, a group of theater students blocked the street outside their school, and got into a fight with several motorists who tried to get through. The incident triggered a domino effect at Belgrade colleges, with self-appointed “student soviets” (plenum) eventually demanding the arrest and identification of the attackers – who they claimed were ruling party activists – and the release and full pardon of all students involved in the fracas.

Since then, student groups have blocked strategic streets in Belgrade for at least fifteen minutes every day, around the time of the canopy’s collapse. They have also expanded their demands: for the government to publish all the records related to the railway station’s reconstruction, and to increase the higher education budget by 20%.
