Goran "Guri" Radosavljević is a Serbian police general and champion. He was the first commander of Serbian special police unit Žandarmerija.
He was born in 1957 in Aranđelovac, Serbia and graduated from the faculty for physical culture. He has worked in the Serbian ministry of the interior since 1985. He initially taught special combat, and then became head of the relevant department. When the war started in the former Yugoslavia, he joined the special units of the police which were subsequently turned into the gendarmerie. During the war in Kosovo he commanded the "search and destroy" units (OPG Units) who were small contingents trained for anti-guerrilla warfare.
The general led teams against the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA)during the Kosovo war, and a number of human rights groups have charged that those Serbian teams committed atrocities against civilians. Human Rights Watch contends that members of these teams killed 41 ethnic Albanians in May 1999.
His nickname is Guri, which is Albanian for rock that he was given from his fellow kosovo-serb fighters.
Nowadays he runs the gendarmerie's judo club.
