Tracking Down Serbia's Danube River Pirates
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 08. 2024
- VICE Serbia explores how pirates, mostly through deals made with international boat crews, illegally load off oil, ores or fertilizers that they later sell on black market. Such activities are often followed with great risks and violence between rival gangs is quite common.
The Danube flow through Serbia is 600 kilometers long and a lot of international transport goes along the river. Serbia has been blacklisted by a number of international companies because of illegal river trade or, more commonly said, piracy.

This is NOT piracy, it's smuggling.
I'd bet they do raiding and human trafficking aswell on those boats, so probably piracy aswell. But they are covering smuggling in this episode yes.
@@unknownentity8256 you bet but you know sh*t, no, there is no raiding or human trafficking.
@@FilK79 Why not?
@@unknownentity8256 because I been there several times and have family living close, and never any human traficking or pirate style raiding was known. There was human traficking only during times of Ceausescu in Romania and my mother even worked for UN to receve the Romanian refuges escaping communist rule there and comming to Yugoslavia, but that was in the 1980s in totally other context. PS:Sorry because of my language in my earlier comment.
This is black marketeering and tax avoidance, it is NOT piracy.
this is agorism! :D
this is homosexuality
this is illuminati
this is sparta!!
if only certain crew are aware/bribed and weapons are used, it's pirating.
"turim hi na kurac" ahahahaha
"Hey cousin, it's your cousin! You wanna go siphon some oil and go bowling after?"
HAHAHAHAHA I started to instantly read that with Romans voice in my head.
17:56 you ask the man a question, which he gives you an answer to. Then you say "OFF THE RECORD" and ask about the same subject again, then you go ahead and use the footage for your report?
Have some professional pride... Be an honest reporter, that means being honest with the people you're interviewing
Copypasta from another comment: It was translated wrong.... He never said "off the record." He just said "in your experience."
Ah, thank you.
I'll leave my comment up so others can see your clarification on the mistranslation
Well, actually... he said both... the exact sentence was "iz vašeg iskustva, kako biste rekli nezvanično", which most people would translate to "based on your experience and speaking off the record", though to be fair, "nezvanično" does not really holds the same weight as "off the record", it's more like "unofficially", if that makes any sense... source: native Serbian speaker :)
I second that!
A honest reporter ? Did ya find any yet , cuz thats like a paradox ! It's like saying can you be more like a jewish nazi.
15:38 wu tang graffiti in Smederevo, Serbia. This planet is truly one big global village.
Serbia must have good neck protection
Yes the world is full off morons everywhere.
Ranko Orovic fuck you. wu tang are cool.
Whats wrong with that?
Yo ho yo ho, a Triad's life for me
watching him change the tyre was probably the best part of that piece.
I honestly have never heard of pirates over here, ever. This, wtf?!?
Nisam ni ja

Thanks for the documentary Vice, it was really well done! Great subtitles and great filming in general. Showing all the parts, and getting inside the important players of this "game". Unfortunatelly, comments under your video are always crap...
+Turin Turambar No. Another video that is unusual to people and the narrow-minded noobs will start bitching. People's lives are so shit that they just want to see violence and illegal activities.
If you are not a native speaker then the subtitles were great🤣🤣🤣
What a load of bullshit
After watching the full 25 minutes I'm highly disapointed
his hue hue
Yup... Same here. I was expecting armed boarding of ships, not some menial buying off of scraps.
ik I though I deal would go down
that's vice for you. click bate title with little substance.
It almost as if having a transparent title would dissuade anyone from watching it.
17:46 So he makes an off the record statement, and you put it in a video; such integrity Vice.
He also said "Незванично"-Nezvanicno=Unofficialy(Off the record)
Absolutely. They either need to update their transcription, or delete that bit. I know Vice like to be 'edgy', but that's not taking licence, that's abusing journalism.
MrTater122
bruh vice is literally gay
I regret to not have travelled trought out the Balkans, I made it as far as Dubrovnik only and Korcula
you saw the touristy stuff then, I'm not sure going further South would be that fulfilling for you to be honest mate, whole Balkans is downhill after Summer in Dalmatia
for those of you think that the are is dangerous. It is not at all. these aren't the classic pirates you are thinking that board a ship and steal all the cargo and money. These people are in business with the people working on the cargo ship and everything is done through deals. They do not harm any civillians or cause any problems to anyone. Smederevo is actually quite nice.
The City itself isnt really that dangerous at all. Actually we went there with school and its really nice.
its not piracy if the captain calls u to buy his cargo
How do you thinks pirates sold the goods they had acquired? They didn't have phones but still
Vice has nothing better to report on so they turn to clickbaiting and bullshitting.
if you watch to the end, the presenter tells you that...
kako bre oni svi pokazuju mesta a dovoljno je policiji da samo vidi ovaj snimak i sve je gotovo
You can find pirates in their government..
Serbian kinda sounds like a mix of czech and portuguese.
lol i went more for polish and portugese, but slow portugese that is 😂
have you ever heard portuguese?
Yes i have heared alot of portugese it's a beautiful language and i said Serbian KINDA sounded like portugese.
Yes probably the guy
I know how they speak in the eastern block, blin.
Im Serbian and what pirates are you talking about? They are smugglers , not pirates also when smederevo was dangerous city? Wtf is wrong with western media...
Edit: Also subtitles are very bad
Zivim u Smederevu. kakva crvena zona, o cemu pricas? Opisao si kao najgori kriminalni grad sto uopste nije istina...
Idle Idle a dobro, Vice inace napuše situaciju zbog gledanosti. Svaku njihovu reportažu treba posmatrati sa dozom rezerve.
Pa nije kriminalno najgori, ali sve ostalo jeste, mogucnost zaposljenja, zagadjenje i sve ostalo. Nazalost moj grad ali teska srca moram priznati da mi se gadi..
Reading subtitles sucks hard guys!
Respect to this guy
I am from Serbia and this is the first time that I hear about so called ''Danube Pirates''.I mean there are smugglers but term ''pirates'' is to much.This is scripted as fu*k..
Jebote ovo ko da je zapelo u 90ima...
Oh its that hipster again, come on vice, give us more Simon!
its,,actually,,jerome,,boateng
How are the boats and the crews able to sell the oil on their boats without it being noticed by the overlooking companies? Who are the boats delivering the oil to? Who are the captains stealing from if they sell the onboard oil to the ''pirates''? I don't understand the concept of how exactly this works.
Technically they're not pirates, smugglers maybe..
love the Tibia shirt. I've been playing that game since '95
but what happens when the boats arrive at their goal and it turns out that cargo is missing or not there at all???
Epic tire change scene at the end!
The subtitles make them sound way more serious, but in fact, they all speak a bit slangily. :)
I'm starting to feel as if there are no cool pirates left in the world....
Last time I was this early.....
I was able to think of a good joke
Good video thank you vice, Croatian here!
"Of the record, what is your personal opinion?" *keeps on recording*
Serbian pirates be like “a yo ho ho and a bottle of Rakija”
Why is everything gray in eastern europe?
Serbia is very eastern. It's Southeastern Europe, closer to Turkey than it is France.
Dude look up eastern Europe, just look it up. No one considers Serbia to be a western country. France is a true Western European country, like Germany or Spain. Turkey is a Eastern European country, like Serbia Ukraine, and Romania.
Generally, all factors considered, people categorize it as belonging to southeast Europe (Balkans), with the northern province Vojvodina belonging to central Europe, which is way more accurate culturally. If you're gonna separate Europe in half based on culture, it is still east, so you are still right but for the wrong reasons. The distinction is more prominent in Europe i guess.
Serbia is not part of the group of internationally-recognised countries that Eastern Europe is comprised of. It's classed as Southern Europe.
Yeah, that sounds right.
Black Cat, White Cat =)
♫"Serbian pirates we"♫
There really is no pirating going on.
Dear Vice, you used to be such an amazing outlet for non mainstream news but anymore you are just clickbait......nobody would watch this if it didnt have pirates in the title. I understand "Organized crime on the Danube" (or something closer to what the actual story represented) wont bring as many views but think of your reputation........vice used to be a decent outlet for non mainstream news, now its just clickbait articles and strippers for the hbo show.
Heeeeey my dads from Serbia!
So, BASICALLY, we need to start buying steel from Russia again lol
the subtitles could have used a bit more loving, they are hard to follow

wow it sounds like Russian.I could understand more than half of it!
How did this hipster learn Serbian.
He is half Serbian.
What's his other half?? He looks like a Muslim Arab speaking perfect Serbian...
The creative directors for VICE Serbia have such a sense of humor, sending him to this assingment
I think he's half nigga
Maybe hes serbian gypsy
Vice, make a video about recent news on Hillary and leaked emails! And Julian Assange commentaries on this situation. I don't even remember, why I am still a subscriber to you! I guess, because your reports weren't biased back then...
They wont as they all support the Pantsuit War Criminal. Most of the sell out Democrats didnt even blink when they heard about the emails and DNC corruption...hence Vice wont touch the subject with a 100ft pole.
No way they're liberal as fuck and most likely receive advertisement funding from the DNC.
Here's your video:
Clinton did the same think as Rice and Powell did with their e-mails. Hackers broke into them. No proof of a crime was found.
And nobody died.
Or was that too biased for you?
Look up the youtuber "Jack Snow" and look at his playlists
wtf
it's some guy that saves a bunch of little girl videos.
Well, we're all on some FBI lists right now.
I Didnt consent to seeing that shit!
the geico ad before this video was the worst 30 seconds ive seen
This is so tense, had to stop after about 5 min
DIMITAR BERBATOV???
lol
Haven't heard that name in years
Vice docs and chill
very cool video
GOLUBE CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT SERBIAN TECHNO SCENE BEOGRAD VS NOVI SAD ETC? IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE IT GET DONE...KEEP UP
Fuck techno music. Long live Turbofolk.
See old fogey's, one of them Hipsters can actually change a flat tire. If just one of them can, there is some hope for the rest of them.
it would be the eastern euro one too hahaha
oh my ancestors could of been river pirates. the chance is nice to know
Got the pirate ad for geico on this lol.
flat tire was scariest part
I'd make sure the captain and even the ship crew had a financial stake in succesfully delivering the oil, so that they don't just sell that shit to pirates and pretend they got robbed.
sly wu tang at 15:37 lol
jebote zivot prvie video koji sam vide na viceu i i8ma serbia u njemu
15:37 lik pokazuje simbol velike albanije. Sram vas bilo.
To nije simbol velike albanije vec simbol albanske nacije. U potpunosti se slazem da je provokativno.
Ukoliko si obratio paznju na taj kadar, primetio bi "grb" ili logo rep grupe "Wu Tang Clan" ciji je "pozdrav" slican kao simbol te imaginarne "velike albanije" dakle s time na umu, siguran sam da ovaj momak nije pokazao simbol imaginarne "velike albanije" vec iskazao podrsku "wu tang clan" i pozdrav fanovima te rep grupe. Ako mi ne verujes, guglaj "Wu tang clan hand gesture" i videces i sam.
@@namelessbob8685 pogledao sam i razlikuje se njegov i nihov pozdrav
@@namelessbob8685 Prvo je pokazao znak albanskog orla pa onda gestu wu tang klana. Moguce je da se momak zabunio pa slucajno pokazao prvi znak pri tom misleci na drugi.
This is smuggling, not piracy lol.
Serbia has pirates too? And I thought somali's were the only ones that still hijack ships
Other countries have pirates
Look at the end. He explains his thoughts, it's not "pirats", it's more agreements between the parts
you havent watched the whole video, have you?
south america and mexico have in there own way pirates. southerb asian countries have pirates but there mode of operenda seems to vary from hostages, to carteling, and some time just boat jacking from anything rafts to jet skis. but when im at the public pool i tend to steal floaties from small children. thus i too live the pirate life for me.
Foreign companies illegally fishing off the coast of Somalia and toxic dumping lead to so-called Somali pirates. Something your western media never showed you. Somali "pirates" are the good guys here! Talk about evil mega corporations 😒
Danube - Sandstorm
Vice is great. REAL stories. REAL field investigative journalism. CNN, Fox, MSNBC. take some fucking notes on how to do REAL news.
Mafija u japankama.
This is some Far Cry shit right here when he switches to GoPro
That is kind of like asking your drug dealer neighbours if you can film them selling and buying whatever it is they sell..........not really likely to happen.
I went to a store to speak to a pharmacist that had lied to me and as soon as she saw me press "record" on my phone, just to record the conversation she changed what she said and told me I had canceled my order.
what language is that ? I thought it was Portuguese.....
serbian
Darkest Serbian ever. I'm surprised Noone said anything about it.
He is mixed with black
He is not Serbian just born here...
We don't have pirates on Danube, just smugglers.
thise vice guy does really good documentarys i like him
Cox?
pirates of the danube
Кад ће емисија о полицији и њиховим надлежностима
Greetings from The Humungus! The Lord Humungus! The Warrior of the Danube! The Ayatollah of Električna Muzika!
Honestly couldn't even watch this. The language is just too distracting I couldn't even focus on reading.
eh. is this really piracy? seems tame.
This language sounds like Italian mixed with Russian
its not actually pirating, they are buying the stuff. its more like smuggling or black market
A drone would make this guys life a lot easier....
VICE only in the past few days in search of the story of Serbia, why I do not understand. Or many of the Serbs, is probably to work the VICE? However, Even if I VICE went the beautiful reportage, I think that there is a need to change its editorial focus.
*METAK PRIMIS KO NISTA NA DUNAVU*
Nice outro *8 )
Zašto bi netko tko se bavi ikakvim ilegalom stao pred kamere mada mu je faca i glas zamućeni i pričao detalje o svom poslu!!!??

Ма то се све зна и договори са пандурима ту и то тако некако прође. Корупција ће увек ту бити.
I remember when Vice was interesting, now Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Is it the specific dialect or were a few of them not speaking Serbian at all(?)
Its all serbian
........ Same-same Cambodia but different..............
Moj muž radi na brodu na Dunavu. Imali su ozbiljne probleme sa piratima. Ozbiljne!
I am definitely buying LAV PIVO after watching this TOTALLY UNBIASED episode that in no sense looked like a scripted piece of shit.
Thank you serbia you exist.
