The German political magazine "Spiegel" has again published its report on the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and I suspect that he could be connected with the alleged "hunting people" in Sarajevo during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, reports the newspaper Frankfurter Algemaine Zeitung and reminds that the text was released earlier, but also withdrawn from the online page until the magazine obtained Vučić's statement in which he rejects the accusations. writes DW.
The provincial court in Hamburg previously declared parts of the article illegal as a temporary measure, because Vučić's statement was not included in the original version of the text (case number 324 O 170/2).
Vučić's statement was subsequently included in the article
"The statement of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, was subsequently added," says the newspaper's editorial staff. "Parts of the text detailing the allegations, which had since been removed for legal reasons, are now available in their entirety again" to readers.
"Spiegel" reports, among other things, the claim that Vučić was allegedly among the "volunteers" who were authorized to accompany "foreign guests". He reports and states that he handed over 20.000 German marks, which an "Italian guest" allegedly "donated" at the Jewish cemetery in Sarajevo. It was, as further stated, a participant in the so-called "Sarajevo safaris", which took place during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995. According to these claims, foreigners came to Sarajevo under the escort of Serbian forces in order to shoot at the city's inhabitants and kill civilians - children, adults and the elderly - and pay money for these killings.

Vučić's lawyer will also analyze the new version of the text
Vučić's spokeswoman stated that he never served under the Serbian commander mentioned in that context, nor was he a member of the unit commanded by that commander. According to her, the commander of that unit himself confirmed this several times during his lifetime.
It also states that "Spiegel" did not prove the "authenticity, origin and context" of the documents attributed to the commander.
Vučić's lawyer, who obtained a temporary ban on the disputed parts of the article before the Land Court in Hamburg, told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that he will analyze the new version of the text published on the Internet, after which he will decide whether there is a so-called violation of the court decision (Titelverstoß), and whether the article, regardless of this, is still legally disputed or journalistic objections cannot be raised against it.
