Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić has firmly denied allegations of involvement in so-called 'human safari' sniper trips during the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s, following accusations from Croatian journalist Domagoj Margetic. The claims suggest that wealthy tourists paid large sums to join Bosnian Serb militias and shoot at unarmed civilians, with some reports indicating children were targeted for higher fees.

Margetic alleges Vučić both organized and participated in these expeditions, citing video and photographic evidence, as well as interviews and witness testimonies. Vučić's spokeswoman dismissed the accusations as malicious disinformation, insisting he was only present as a journalist and translator, not as a combatant.

Italian prosecutors have launched an investigation into the alleged involvement of Italian tourists, prompted by new evidence and a recent documentary that reignited public interest in the disturbing claims. Witnesses and former officials have described seeing foreign 'shooter tourists' guided by local militia, though direct proof remains contested.

The controversy highlights the enduring horrors of the Sarajevo siege, where more than 11,500 people were killed, and raises questions about the extent of foreign participation in wartime atrocities.
