Youth without a future
It is an open secret that at least 150 young people, from Belgrade alone, are regularly at the disposal of criminal clans.

It seems that the criminal leaders are very careful when it comes to supplementing the police and prosecutor's statistics. The higher public prosecutor's office in Belgrade boasts day after day how it solves cases of murder and wounding, as well as drug trafficking.

Unhappy children in "happy" families
