By Boris Drenca and Daniel Sunter in Belgrade (BCR No 432, 23-May-03) The break-up of the notorious Zemun gang in Serbia dealt a serious blow to organised crime in Serbia, but senior officials are concerned that it should mark the beginning rather than the end of a campaign to cleanse the government of mafia connections.
The existence of the Zemun “clan” was officially acknowledged in 2001 when Serbian police published a paper claiming there were 50 active criminal groups, of which Zemun was the most powerful, specialising in drug, cigarette and oil smuggling.
The strength of the Zemun gang can be gauged by the fact that it was able to publish its own weekly newspaper, Identitet, which carried accusations against the Serbian authorities, attacked rival groups, extolled the wartime activities of the Red Berets, and flirted with the Serbian opposition.
