- Jusuf "Juka" Prazina was a Sarajevan gangster and paramilitary warlord during the Bosnian war. A troubled teen, Prazina's youth allegedly contained numerous stays in various jails and correctional facilities of the former Yugoslavia. By the 1980s he had become involved in organized crime, eventually heading his own racketeering gang based around his home in the city's Centar municipality. With the onset of the Siege of Sarajevo in 1992 Prazina expanded his gang into an effective paramilitary fighting force. This force was central in the effort against the besieging army of Republika Srpska, and he was rewarded for his contribution to the city's defense by appointment to the head of the government's special forces. Prazina proved problematic for Bosnian authorities due to his independence of central command, continued involvement in criminal activity, and perpetration of war crimes. Following a warrant for his arrest in October, Juka stationed himself on Mt. Igman and coordinated attacks against ARBiH forces until his eventual defeat and expulsion in January of the following year. Prazina moved to Herzegovina where he joined forces with the Croatian Defence Council and committed numerous crimes against civilians in the region. He left Bosnia and Herzegovina a few months later for Croatia, and lived on the Dalmatian coast before traveling through a number of European countries and finally relocating to Belgium. He was found dead in a canal near the German border by two hitch-hikers on New Year's Eve, killed by two shots to the head from one of his own body guards.
- Jusuf Prazina est né à Sarajevo en Bosnie en 1962 et a été assassiné par un de ses gardes du corps près de la frontière belge en 1994.
