Austria investigates allegations of civilian shooting during Bosnian war
Share:
Austria has launched an investigation into allegations that individuals participated in shooting civilians during the Bosnian war. The probe was prompted by a 2022 document titled "Sarajevo Safari" that raised suspicions about such activities. Italian investigative journalist Ezio Gavazzeni published a book in March examining the case, titled "L'inchiesta sui safari umani a Sarajevo" (Weekend Snipers: Investigation into Human Safaris in Sarajevo). The investigation centers on claims that civilians were targeted during the 1992-1996 Bosnian War, which saw the siege of Sarajevo and widespread atrocities as Bosnia-Herzegovina fought for independence from Yugoslavia.
