The Greek Volunteer Guard (Serbian: Грчка Добровољачка Гарда Grčka Dobrovoljačka Garda; Greek: Ελληνική Εθελοντική Φρουρά Elliniki Ethelodiki Froura) was a unit of Greek volunteers that fought in the Bosnian War on the side of the Army of the Republika Srpska. Some members of the unit are alleged to have been present in the area of the Srebrenica massacre and reportedly hoisted a Greek flag over the town, which was recorded 'for marketing purposes'.[1][2][3]
