Green Berets (Bosnian paramilitary)

Zelene beretke (English, "Green Berets") was a paramilitary organization founded in Sarajevo in early 1992. They were founded by demobilized soldiers and conscripts from the Yugoslav National Army who were mostly ethnic Bosniaks and supporters of Bosnian nationalism. Unlike the ARBiH, the ZB was very closely integrated with the Party of Democratic Action. They were integrated into a newly founded Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the second half of 1992. The Green Berets as a gear of choice and name was selected both as a reference to United States Army Special Forces (although no actual relation existed) and as a common colour brand of the predominant ethnic group that composed the unit, namely Bosniaks. Bosnian Green Berets were mostly active during the war in the early part of 1992 in northern and central Bosnia.

Ramiz Delalić

Ramiz Delalić (15 February 1963 – 27 June 2007), widely known by his nickname Ćelo (pronounced: CheloThe word means "baldy" - a common nickname in Sarajevo for criminals, because their heads were shaven during their time spent in prison), was the commander of the 9th Mountain Brigade in Sarajevo, and gained notoriety as the main suspect who stood trial before a local court for the killing of Nikola Gardović on 1 March 1992. The murder, taking place during a Serb wedding in front of the old Orthodox Church in Sarajevo, is an event many Serbians consider as the criminal act that triggered the 1992-95 war. Delalić was also one of several prominent underworld figures who helped to defend Sarajevo during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite the rumours surrounding him later during the war, namely his purported racketeering and extortion rings, his acts during the wartime were still considered far less controversial when compared to other local warlords, such as Jusuf "Juka" Prazina. Unlike Prazina and some other local gangsters, Delalić remained loyal and obedient to official Bosnian political and military authorities through the entire war-period, and it is even assumed that he was very close with Bosnian president Alija Izetbegović.
