What happens

Sarajevo Safari is a 2022 Slovenian documentary film directed by Miran Zupanič. The film alleges that during the siege of Sarajevo (1992–1996), a form of war tourism emerged involving the organization of human-hunting safaris through which wealthy foreigners paid high fees to shoot at civilians from sniper positions held by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS). The film premiered at the Al Jazeera Balkans (AJB) DOC Film Festival in September 2022, drawing significant international attention and intense controversy. It directly led to the opening of official investigations into the allegations by the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina in November 2022 and by the Prosecutor's Office in Milan, Italy, in 2025.
