Two players from the bench

Colonel Skoko, who has been indicted by the Hague Tribunal of War Crimes, is at large and in hiding. Two key witnesses for his defense have also vanished. The Secret Service has brought into the game «two players from the bench». One Croat and one Serb, who not too long fought against each other, are now playing in a dangerous game and their survival is in question.
