"Sarajevo safari": At least 200 Italians paid to shoot civilians during siege of BiH capital

During the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina and the siege of Sarajevo, the longest in modern history, foreigners fired on civilians by paying large sums of money for it - according to some estimates, from 80,000 to 100,000 euros (as they would amount today, according to Italian media). Among them were Italian citizens, who were never criminally held accountable for their cruel acts - at least not for now.

Milan prosecutors have launched an investigation following the report of journalist and writer Ezi Gavazzeni, as reported today by La Repubblica and Milan's Il Giornale. The case is handled by Attorney General Alessandro Gobbis.

Behind the Italian snipers, at least 200 who shot unarmed civilians between 1992 and 1996 during the siege of Sarajevo, is the testimony of a military insider and a gruesome "principle of death."

The men dressed in military uniforms came from Trivenet, Piedmont and Lombardy, and arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina in vans within 72 hours. They crossed control points in Croatia and BiH unhindered, under the pretext of a "humanitarian mission" giving a generous bribe for "Sarajevo safari".

As Il Giornale reported on July 18, the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Milan opened an investigation into the “weekend snipers” who, from all over Europe, including Italy, were transported to the hills surrounding Sarajevo through a kind of travel agency that organized the transfer and allegedly set the price for these murders. The murders of children were paid the most, up to 100 million old lira (this figure today would amount to more than 180,000 KM), then men (preferably in uniform and armed), women and finally old men, who were killed and - free…

As it is known, the siege of Sarajevo cost the lives of 11,541 civilians (including 1,601 diets), and the battle was compared with the siege of Stalingrad in the Second World War. Many snipers were positioned on the hills near the Sarajevo settlement of Grbavica, then under the Serbian siege.

The presence of Italians among snipers was published in the newspaper Corriere della Sera as early as 1995, but without enough evidence. A few years ago, the same thesis was re-starred by journalist Luca Leone, co-founder Infinito Edizioni and author of the 2014 Sarajevo Gads novel.

According to a lawsuit signed by writer Ezio Gavazzeni, with the help of former prosecutor Guido Salvini, who in recent months has been filed by prosecutor Alessandro Gobbis, a judge specializing in the fight against terrorism, a Bosnia and Herzegovina source reported a key detail.

Back in late 1993, the Bosnian Intelligence Service warned the local headquarters of SISMI (military intelligence, now AISE) at the presence of at least five Italians in the hills around the city, who were escorted to shoot at civilians. However, at least two hundred Italians participated in this.

Documentary Film Alleges That Foreigners Took Part in ‘Civilian Hunting’ in Bosnian Capital

‘Tourist shooters’ reportedly paid Serb nationalist forces dizzying amounts of money to snipe at civilians in wartime Sarajevo

“It is our generational duty to write about the genocide and fight against this evil. We owe that to those before us and to those we are parents to. All the pain of the world is still in Bosnia.”

So wrote the renowned Bosnian-Australian social anthropologist Hariz Halilovich to me in one of our recent email exchanges, where we often discuss life, news or fresh scholarship of interest to us both. His words stuck with me even more than usual as I read about the controversial and horrifying documentary film “Sarajevo Safari” by the Slovenian director Miran Zupanic. This 75-minute film, which premiered on Sept. 10 at the fifth annual international documentary film festival in Sarajevo, addresses shocking allegations that small groups of wealthy, influential foreigners paid dizzying amounts of money to members of Serb nationalist forces in the 1990s to “hunt” civilians in besieged Sarajevo. These macabre weekend tours reportedly started at the beginning of the war in 1992 and continued for at least several months in 1993 and 1994, as the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina continued to ravage the country.

While this phenomenon was little spoken of in the past, it was not unheard of. Zupanic’s film is the most comprehensive and high-profile effort yet to present witness testimony as evidence for these war crimes.

No one in Bosnia’s capital forgets how the siege of Sarajevo, which began on Apr. 6, 1992, ended four long years later, on Feb. 29, 1996. Over 1,425 days, more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians were killed. During the war, one of the main boulevards in the city was infamously known as “Sniper Alley.” A U.N. report made clear the reason for the nickname. The report stated: “Skilled marksmen often kill their targets with a single shot to the head or heart, and it is clear that they have exercised the specific intent to hit obvious civilian targets with no other purpose than to cause death or serious bodily injury.” The report confirmed that snipers operated in teams around the city and deliberately targeted civilians, noncombatant targets and rescuers who tried to help victims, as well as U.N. Protection Force (UNPROFOR) and other U.N. personnel and facilities.

Like trophy hunting for big game on safari in Africa, individuals paid to partake in expeditions to kill defenseless, unarmed civilians with snipers during the siege of Sarajevo. While the exact sum of money required to take part is not known, for some foreigners, killing Sarajevans was clearly a source of fun and an adrenaline boost. The activity was welcomed by their enablers among the Serb nationalist forces, both for the money and for the objective in itself. Bosnians have now been left to wonder whether more information will come to light about the perpetrators of this grisly violence, who allegedly shot their family members, friends and neighbors for sadistic pleasure.
