Vukovi s Vučjaka (English: Vučjak Wolves, Wolves from/of Vučjak) was a Serb paramilitary active in the Croatian War of Independence and the Bosnian War. It is established in Prnjavor.[1]
They were active in fighting in Okučani, Jasenovac and Novska.[1] In August, 1991 the unit took over the transmitter on Kozara, and replaced RTV Sarajevo with Serb programming.[2] Its leader Veljko Milanković was badly wounded on February 4, 1993 and later died at the Medical Academy on February 14.
A witness testified to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia during Serbian leader Slobodan Milošević's trial that the Wolves were trained in Knin by Dragan Vasiljković, "Captain Dragan".[3]
In 2007, it was announced that the paramilitary's commander Veljko Milanković would have a street named after him in Novi Sad.[4] Non-governmental groups protested the decision.[5]
