He said the #Italians met in the city of Trieste before travelling to #Belgrade, where #Bosnian Serb soldiers escorted them to hills overlooking #Sarajevo. It is believed that citizens of the United States and #Russia also took part in the practice.

#Serbia has denied any involvement in the alleged scheme, but investigators believe that #Serbian intelligence services were aware of the tourist trips.
