Overview
- Croatian investigative journalist Domagoj Margetić filed a complaint in Milan alleging Aleksandar Vučić participated in or helped facilitate the so‑called sniper safaris during the 1992–96 siege.
- Aleksandar Vučić publicly rejected the claims, saying he never harmed anyone and asserting that purported 1993 footage shows a camera tripod or umbrella, not a rifle.
- Milan prosecutors opened an inquiry last week focused on identifying alleged foreign shooters, including possible Italians, on potential charges of voluntary murder aggravated by cruelty.
- The probe stems from a submission by Milan-based writer Ezio Gavazzeni, built after the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari, and was supplemented by a report from former Sarajevo mayor Benjamina Karić.
- Investigators are reviewing allegations that wealthy visitors paid Bosnian Serb forces for access to sniper positions, and an Italian diplomat has recounted that Italian intelligence later identified organizers and halted a flow from Italy.
