Vucic is accused of being part of a sniper group that killed Bosnian civilians,

The Serbian president has been accused of involvement in the scandal known as the "sniper safari" in Sarajevo during the Bosnian War, where wealthy foreigners allegedly paid large sums to shoot at civilians.

Aleksandar Vučić is suspected of having been present at one of the military positions above the city, from where it is said that these foreigners paid to shoot residents during the siege of Sarajevo, from 1992 to 1996.

Video footage has also been released that purports to show him as a young man, traveling in a four-wheel drive vehicle, in the trunk of which was a human skull with a blue United Nations peacekeeping helmet.

The allegations against Vučić, which he categorically denies, were made by Croatian investigative journalist Domagoj Margetic. The latter has filed a complaint against the president with Italian prosecutors, who are already investigating allegations that Italians, Russians and Americans participated in “sniper safaris” during the conflict.

Margetic stated: “I have informed the public prosecutor’s office of all my knowledge regarding Aleksandar Vučić’s involvement in human safaris in wartime Sarajevo. I have attached all the evidence: video materials, photographic, audio and media documentation from that period.”

In his submission, he claims that Vučić was “a member of a paramilitary unit under the control of the Serbian Radical Party during 1992–1993.” According to him, the unit was stationed in a fighting position near the Jewish cemetery in Sarajevo, which was used as a sniper spot by Serbian forces.

During the siege, more than 10,000 people were killed by bombing and sniper fire.

Margetic adds that the information “places Vucic beyond any doubt at the time and place of these crimes.” He cites footage from 1993 that, he says, shows Vucic holding a rifle. Meanwhile, supporters of the Serbian president have dismissed the claims, saying the object in the video was not a weapon but a television camera tripod, as Vucic was working as a journalist at the time.

Prosecutors in Milan opened an investigation after receiving information that wealthy Italians were among the foreigners who paid to shoot Bosnian civilians. It is suspected that "bounties" were also placed on women, children and men in uniform.

The "war tourists" were allegedly organized by Bosnian Serb militias under the command of Radovan Karadzic.

The president’s spokeswoman, Suzana Vasiljevic, told The Telegraph: “The claims of journalist Domagoj Margetic represent a typical case of malicious disinformation, constructed with the aim of undermining the institutional credibility of the Republic of Serbia and its president. President Vucic has not participated in combat activities, has not used weapons and has not played a role in any war operations.” She added that the accusations are “politically motivated” and aim to “undermine Serbia’s international reputation.”

A documentary released in 2022 by a Slovenian director, titled “Sarajevo Safari,” made similar accusations about foreigners participating in “weekend war safaris.”

Regarding the latest video allegedly showing Vučić in the vehicle with a skull, a Serbian source said that the car was not his and that "such vehicles were found everywhere in the war zone."

The claims of wealthy foreigners coming for “sniper safaris” have also been supported by former Italian diplomat Michael Giffoni, who served as deputy head of Italy’s diplomatic mission in Sarajevo. He stated that upon arriving in the city in 1994, he was told: “Safaris are being organized. Many rich people are coming here – some are hunters, others are businessmen. The army and paramilitaries take them to the hills above Sarajevo and they pay for it.”

According to him, the Italian intelligence service SISMI was informed about the war tourism and, in cooperation with Bosnian intelligence, managed to stop the arrival of Italians. However, the Italian authorities were unable to identify any of their citizens who may have participated in the shooting of civilians. “If we had had a name, we would have prosecuted them,” Giffoni said.

Balkan experts told The Telegraph that the allegations may be true but require careful consideration. Dr Helena Ivanov, from the Henry Jackson Society, said: “Many terrible things happened during the war, but there were also stories that turned out to be false. Shocking allegations must be investigated fully and transparently.”

The video showing Vučić in the vehicle decorated with a skull was released by Balkans expert Jasmin Mujanović. He said there is “growing evidence, including testimony from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, of the existence of ‘human safaris’ carried out by Serbian nationalist forces on behalf of wealthy foreign tourists.”

Mujanovic stressed that the allegations are “credible” but require “extraordinary evidence” to be confirmed. He added that the matter should be investigated by Italian and international agencies: “We hope that these turn out to be just urban legends, given the horror they imply. But if they are true, serious criminal charges should be brought against all those involved.”
