Renowned Serbian lawyer, Cedomir Stojkovic, has stated that more and more evidence is emerging linking Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić to the activity known as "Sniper Safari" during the siege of Sarajevo in the period 1992-1995.
Stojkovic has published photos and writings from the time on social media, where Vučić admits that he had gone to Sarajevo as a volunteer.
According to his statement: “When the war in Bosnia started, I went to the Serbian part of Sarajevo and volunteered. I was not a member of any party, I just went on my own. I spent some time in the Jewish Cemetery.”
The lawyer adds that other sources, including statements by politician Vojislav Seselj during his trial in The Hague, confirm that Vučić had been part of a unit under the command of Slavko Aleksić in the same sector.
During the war, the “Sniper Safari” reportedly involved the use of snipers against civilians, including foreigners who were escorted to positions in the Sarajevo hills.
The statements and documents published by Stojkovic aim to highlight Vučić's possible connection to these activities, while further investigations and reviews are being conducted by relevant authorities and international media.
According to the lawsuit filed in Milan by journalist Ezio Gavazzeni, wealthy individuals paid to kill defenseless civilians from Serbian positions in the hills surrounding Sarajevo.
Engaging in this practice is considered murder, while the fee for each civilian shot ranged up to 100 thousand euros.
More than 11 people died during the nearly four-year siege of Sarajevo, as the city faced shelling and sniper fire from Serbian forces.
The Italian prosecution, under the leadership of anti-terrorism prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis, is examining evidence and reports, including a report from the former mayor of Sarajevo, Benjamina Karic.
Journalist Gavazzeni states that at least a hundred people participated in these sniper tournaments.
In this context, Russian writer and politician Eduard Limonov was also filmed firing from Serbian positions, under the direction of Radovan Karadzic, who was later convicted of genocide by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
Investigations in Italy continue, as authorities try to identify all those involved and possible witnesses to these tragic events.
