Overview
- Prosecutors are examining claims that affluent foreigners, including Italians, paid to reach Serb-held positions near Sarajevo to shoot civilians during 1992–95.
- The inquiry draws on a detailed complaint and the 2022 film Sarajevo Safari, with ex-Bosnian intelligence officer Edin Subašić cited as a key witness.
- Investigators are seeking archival records, including possible SISMI files after a 1993 tip reported by Bosnian intelligence, to verify routes, organizers and participants.
- No suspects have been publicly identified, and the probe currently centers on documents and witness leads handled by the ROS given the case’s cross-border scope.
- Local researchers estimate snipers killed about 300–350 people in Sarajevo, and prosecutors are evaluating homicide charges with aggravating factors that may not expire.
