[edit] Plot summary
Ilija Čvorović (Bata Stojković), a former Stalinist, is contacted by the secret police to routinely answer questions about his neighbour, a businessman who had recently returned from a business trip in Paris and now wants to become a tailor. Following the talk, Čvorović is convinced that his neighbour represents a great threat to national security and decides to take matters into his own hands, thus beginning his own surveillance operation against the innocent man. The arrival of a modern man from a capitalist country has clearly provoked Čvorović who perceives the neighbour as a threat to his communist ways. He convinces his wife that their neighbour is a spy and is stalking him, his paranoia growing with each passing day. Eventually, he bars his house, buys a guard dog, arms himself with munition, and even gets help from his brother, both of them becoming convinced that assassins are after them.

Balkanski špijun took home two awards in 1984 at the Pula Film Festival including the Golden Arena award and the "Best Actor" award, which went to Danilo Stojković for his portrayal of Ilija Čvorović.
