Renowned investigative journalist Domagoj Margetić has submitted a detailed report to the Office of the Public Prosecutor in Milan, providing information he considers relevant to the ongoing investigation in Italy into the so-called “human safaris” carried out during the siege of Sarajevo from 1992 to 1994.
According to media reports, Italian authorities are currently investigating claims that wealthy and influential individuals from Italy traveled to wartime Sarajevo to participate in the killing of civilians as a form of “sport hunting.”
In his report, Margetić urges investigators to examine the possible involvement of the current President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.
Claims Presented in the Report
Margetić’s report contains 19 points based on public statements, media interviews, archival materials, and wartime testimonies. Key allegations include:
* Aleksandar Vučić is alleged to have served as an armed volunteer in Sarajevo during 1992–1993.
* He is said to have been part of a paramilitary unit commanded by Slavko Aleksić, stationed for months at the **Jewish Cemetery in Sarajevo**, a position which, according to the report, is linked to the organization of the alleged human safaris.
* The report cites statements from Vojislav Šešelj, Zoran Krasić, Mirko Blagojević, and others who have publicly claimed that Vučić served as a volunteer during that period.
* Margetić also refers to a 1994 interview in which Vučić reportedly acknowledged that he had spent “some time” at the Jewish Cemetery as a volunteer.
* He references an amateur video from 1993 that allegedly shows Vučić armed with a sniper rifle near the Jewish Cemetery.
* The report also includes claims by former Bosnian officials and other individuals who, according to Margetić, link Vučić’s presence to activities carried out on that front line.
Link to the Italian Investigation
The investigation launched in Milan aims to clarify the role of Italian citizens suspected of participating in the deliberate targeting and killing of civilians during the siege of Sarajevo.
According to Margetić, the positions held by Aleksić’s unit—where Vučić is alleged to have served—coincide with locations identified as sites of these “human safaris.”
The journalist further argues that Vučić and another member of the unit, Zlatko “Zak” Novaković, were among the few fighters who spoke foreign languages and therefore could have been in contact with foreign visitors at the frontline positions.
Conclusion of the Report
Margetić concludes that the information he has gathered “clearly indicates,” in his interpretation, that Vučić was present during the period and at the positions where the alleged human safaris took place and that, according to him, “it would have been impossible” for Vučić not to be aware of such events.
He calls on the Milan Prosecutor’s Office to include these allegations in its ongoing investigation.
