2.  ibid., 1985–95.

3.  Of the more spectacular murders, several can be mentioned, including the murder of Branislav Matié Beli, one of the more well known members of the Belgrade underground, on August 3, 1991, by fire from an automatic rifle; the murder of the most famous gangster of the ‘younger’ generation, Aleksandar Knežević ‘Knele’, on October 28, 1992, in the New Belgrade Hyatt hotel; the murder of one of the most well known businesspeople in Serbia, Radojica Nikõevié, Director of the ‘áumadija’ enterprise, on Ocober 7, 1993; the murder of another well-known member of the underground, Goran Vuković, on December 12, 1994; the murder of the Belgrade boxer, Mihajlo Divac, after a shoot-out with automatic rifles in the New Belgrade Putnik hotel, on February 12, 1995. To these and other spectacular murders add a series of murders of police officers and security guards, including, amongst other cases, the murder of one and wounding of another police officer on March 16, 1995; the murder of two security guards of the postal service during an armed robbery of a money delivery van, on April 1, 1995 in Belgrade. Other more widely publicised cases include, for example, the robbery of a jewellery store in the Proleterskih brigada Street in Belgrade, on July 23, 1992 and the murder of the shop assistant Borjanka Tatié with a handgun; break-in into an apartment in 33 Pohorska Street in Belgrade and the brutal murder ot Vera Žigić and her son Davor by two assailants, also by firearms. For these and other examples, as well as the relevant anecdotal and journalistic evidence see Knežević, A. & Tufegdžić, V. (1995), Kriminal kojije izmenio Srbiju (Crime that changed Serbia), Radio B-92, Beograd.

4.  Article 3a, paragraph 2 of Montenegrin criminal law, and article 2a, paragraph 2 of Serbian criminal law.

5.  See paper by Montenegrin Minister of the Interior, Filip Vujanović (1995), ‘Razlićite inkriminacije u KZ Srbije i KZ Crne Gore i pitanje jedinstvenog krivićnog zakona’ (‘Different incriminations in Serbian and Montenegrin criminal legislation and the question of a unique criminal law’), in the collection Problemi reintegrate i reforme jugoslovenskog kriviönog zakonodavstva, Institute of Criminological and Sociological Research, Belgrade.

6.  Articles 86a, 86b, 109, 132, 183a, 184b, 218, 232, 238, 240a of Serbian criminal law.

7.  Vujanović, op. cit., p. 19.

8.  Vujanović, op. cit.

9.  Also see Vujanović, op. cit., pp. 19-20. Serving of alcohol to persons under sixteen, and even eighteen years of age is also characterised as an infraction in other parts of the world, but in these countries the documentary checking of the identity of potential customers who could be under the age limit is also obligatory. Given that in Yugoslavia only the police and other investigative agencies normally have the right to check citizens’ identification documents, this was an additional reason for the practical inapplicability of this criminal characterisation.

10.  Articles 212 and 215 of Montenegrin criminal law.

11.  Article 241 of Serbian criminal law and article 214 of Montenegrin criminal law.
