History
It was formed in March 1991 after the dissolution of State Security Administration (UDBA).[citation needed] It was dissolved in July 2002 and replaced with Security Information Agency (BIA) on 1 August 2002.
Special forces
According to the indictment in the series of trials before the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the Yugoslav Special Forces, also known as Yugoslav Paramilitaries, were secretly established by or with the assistance of the State Security Service.[1] Among those were Serb Volunteer Guard (Arkan's Tigers), Special Operations Unit (Red Berets) and Scorpions.[1]
Officially, the Special Operations Unit (JSO) was incorporated into the State Security Service not before 1996.
