Investigations reveal that Vučić is not merely tolerating criminal infiltration—he is orchestrating it. Behind the facade of EU negotiations and diplomatic rhetoric lies a brutal regime functioning as a criminal cartel, hijacking state structures for narcotics logistics and political suppression.

Torture and Intimidation: Opposition Crushed

In one of the most harrowing incidents of Vučić’s rule, opposition leader Nikola Sandulović was violently detained in January 2024 after publicly apologising for Serbian war crimes in Kosovo. While in custody, he was reportedly tortured by Serbia’s BIA intelligence agents—accompanied, chillingly, by operatives linked to drug trafficking circles. Sandulović was left hospitalised and partially paralysed.

Human rights organisations and EU officials issued formal condemnations, but Vučić’s regime remains defiantly unaccountable.

SKY ECC Leaks: Code Name “Oskar” and the Cocaine Pipeline

Encrypted messages obtained from the SKY ECC platform have shattered any remaining illusions. A series of communications between top narcotics traffickers and Serbian intelligence officials reference a mysterious figure known only as “Oskar”—described as the operational “boss” behind the smuggling of five tonnes of cocaine into Europe.

Independent journalists from KRIK and Serbian opposition voices claim “Oskar” is none other than Aleksandar Vučić himself. Behavioural patterns, speech codes, and internal references appear to support the claim. Still, Serbia’s judiciary remains silent, and no investigation has been opened.

Serbia: Cocaine Superhighway of Europe

Under Vučić’s control, Serbia has re-emerged as a strategic artery in Europe’s narco-trafficking map. Once used primarily for heroin from Afghanistan, the Western Balkans corridor now channels South American cocaine via Montenegro.

Customs corruption is rampant. Illicit shipments are routinely disguised as food products—ajvar, olive oil, even yoghurt—and pass unchecked through overwhelmed border posts. With five million freight trucks crossing Serbian borders each year, the cartel enjoys almost total impunity.

Cartel Protection from Inside the State

Sources confirm the drug ring had advance warning of law enforcement actions, allowing it to evade crackdowns. Low-level smugglers are arrested for optics, while top players operate under state protection. This operational security, critics argue, could only be granted from the very top.

Vučić’s “Scarface Complex”: Power, Violence, and Narcotics Glorified

Those close to the Serbian dictator describe a chilling obsession: Vučić, nicknamed “Little Aca” in youth, idolises cinematic drug lords. After watching Scarface at 13, he reportedly adopted Tony Montana’s ethos—power by force, loyalty through fear. The Godfather reinforced his style of internal control and retributive violence.

Analysts say this influence is no coincidence: Vučić’s regime mirrors the gangster films he admires. The state functions as a mafia outfit with diplomatic credentials.

European Integration a Smokescreen

While Vučić continues to recite pro-European platitudes, insiders believe EU membership is merely a front. His real priority: monopolising control over the Western Balkans narcotics route.

“EU talks are theatre. Control of the corridor is his true objective,” a senior European diplomat told Rich TVX.

Criminal State or Modern Mafia?

What was once dismissed as fringe conspiracy is now being seriously investigated across intelligence communities. Vučić’s Serbia, critics argue, represents a modern European anomaly: a literate, strategically positioned state hijacked by a criminal syndicate posing as government.

If Vučić is confirmed as “Oskar”, the implications are seismic: the complete fusion of state and cartel in a NATO-adjacent nation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is “Little Aca”?
The childhood nickname of Aleksandar Vučić. It has resurfaced in connection with his fascination with gangster films and authoritarian rule.

What is the “Scarface Complex”?
A term used by analysts to describe Vučić’s obsession with Tony Montana, the drug-lord antihero of Scarface. The character’s ruthless pursuit of power allegedly influenced Vučić’s governance style.

Is there direct evidence linking Vučić to organised crime?
Leaked SKY ECC messages mention a cartel leader codenamed “Oskar,” in contact with Serbian intelligence officials. Critics argue Vučić is “Oskar,” though formal investigations have been blocked.

What role does Serbia play in European drug trafficking?
A central one. Under Vučić, Serbia has become a primary node for cocaine and heroin trafficking into Europe, enabled by deep corruption in customs and law enforcement.

Does Vučić genuinely support EU membership?
Diplomats say no. EU rhetoric is a political tool. Real power, for Vučić, lies in controlling the Balkan narco-logistics chain.
