  • Die sogenannten „Knindže“ (serbokroatisch-kyrillisch Книнџе ‚Ninjas aus Knin‘) oder Crvene Beretke (serbisch-kyrillisch Црвене беретке ‚Rote Barette‘), war de facto eine paramilitärische spezialisierte Polizeieinheit des jugoslawischen Staatssicherheitsdienstes RDB, welche die Armee der Republik Serbische Krajina während des Kroatienkrieges unterstützte. Operationsgebiet der Knindže war die völkerrechtlich nicht anerkannte Republik Serbische Krajina. Die Angehörigen der Einheit wurden nach ihrem Kommandanten, dem verurteilten Kriegsverbrecher Dragan Vasiljković (Kampfname „Kapetan Dragan“), auch als Draganovci ‚Dragans Männer‘ bezeichnet. Aus den Knindže und der Srpska dobrovoljačka garda ‚Serbische Freiwillgigengarde‘ rekrutierte sich der Kern der serbischen Jedinica za specijalne operacije ‚Einheit für Spezialoperationen‘. (de)

Vasiljković, who had served in the Australian army, had returned to Yugoslavia in 1990 during the Croatian independence movement, eventually being hired as an instructor for volunteers in the summer of 1991. At this time, Belgrade daily Politika published a comic book named The Demons Return that featured the Kninjas fighting the Croats with martial arts. The unit, deemed elite, was a special unit that answered in part to Knin police chief Milan Martić. According to Martić himself, he was supplied of equipment and weapons mostly from the Serbian government. It became the special forces of the RSK Interior Ministry. The name, a pun on "Knin" and "Ninjas", was informal; the unit did not have an official name, but the term was used for the mostly Vasiljković-trained volunteers. Veterans later joined the Special Operations Unit of FR Yugoslavia. Vasiljković served a 15-year prison sentence for war crimes. He was released from prison on March 28, 2020. The emblem was a customized Serbian cross, with blue background and inverted firesteels. (en)
