The shooting of Nikola Štedul was an attempted assassination in Kirkcaldy, Scotland in 1988.
Vinko Sindičić arrived in the UK in mid-October 1988, traveling on a falsified Swiss passport.
In the early morning of 20 October while Štedul was walking his dog, Sindičić shot at him six times.
The Yugoslav embassy subsequently provided an alibi for Sindičić, saying he was visiting Scotland to watch a football match between Scotland and Yugoslavia—the World Cup qualifier was played in Glasgow on 19 October.
The assassination attempt was subject of a 1994 movie by Scottish Television, The Yugoslav Hitman.
