The Yugoslav wars: Arkan's Legacy in Serbia | Full Documentary

Published 2024-07-11
They are war heroes in their own country. War criminals to the rest of the world. The men who joined up to defend the Serb nation and fought proudly in the notorious paramilitary group, Arkan’s Tigers, never accepted that they did anything wrong. What has become of these men?

Many went on to join the Serbian mafia, trafficking drugs, women and arms into Europe. In the years of sanctions after the war, the mafia offered a way of avoiding economic disaster. Other Tiger members were recruited into the state security force, where one went on to assassinate Serbian Prime Minister, Zoran Dindic. And others remained at home, reminiscing of past glories and preparing for the next time they need to defend their motherland…

We gained exclusive access to one of the most controversial militia in modern European history.

This film was first released in 2018

    It is very intriguing to know, if these cartels and smugglers are as rich as they are made out to be, what is in it for them, with these exposures to journalists?

    The story is so true that they even messed up the stadiums - its partizan stadium and not Red Star. Dont believe everything...
  • Okay, why are these supposed criminals telling their business to a news reporter? Especially their relationship with the government?

  • Nothing happens in a vacuum - everything has its causation! Serbia became an independent country during the civil war(s) in the '90s. That civil war was instigated by the west, which have destroyed Yugoslavian economy and turning the entire country into the chaotic pile of rubble. That war and subsequent sanctions on Serbia gave rise to various mafia groups, black-marketing, weapons and drugs smuggling. It was the struggle for basic survival and everyone tried the best way they can to make a living and avoid starvation!

    So sad; too many lazy people in this world that don't want to put in hard work to work the land😢😢😢😢😢

    Impressive documentary. The very interesting topic of Serbian mafias explained in parallel to the history of the dissolution of Yugoslavia. Sometimes you forget that you are watching a mafia documentary because it dives so deeply into the events surrounding the 1990s civil war and its political aftermath.
  • But if you listen to vučić you’d think Serbia is paradise. “Crime? What crime? That doesn’t exist here” lol
