The report portrays him as a hero in Serbia and a member of Serbian Parliament. Serbian TV and the Serbian Orthodox Church are shown to openly support Belgrade gangsters. Brief statements on Serbian TV by several Belgrade gangsters and a local criminologist are included. An anonymous male points to the likely involvement of higher government officials in a circle of crime and black marketeering in Belgrade.
