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'.

In March 1995, the Greek Volunteer Guard (ΕΕΦ), a contingent of one hundred [citation needed] Greek paramilitaries formed at the request of the Chief of Staff of the Bosnian Serb Army Ratko Mladić, became a regular fighting unit of the Drina Corps with its own insignia, a white double-headed eagle on a black background.

[7] According to a report by Agence France Presse (AFP), a dozen Greek volunteers were fighting alongside Serb forces at the time of the Srebrenica massacre.

[17] Michas focused on inaction : "No-one tried to stop them and the Greek legal authorities made no attempt to assist the work of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia at The Hague by pursuing inquiries about crimes the volunteers may have committed themselves or known about".

[14][15] The campaigning organisation Reporters Sans Frontieres urged the Greek court to dismiss the legal action, which it described as "surreal" and a clear case of judicial harassment.

[20] In 2007 in the paper Eleftheri ora, Kyriakos Katharios, a member of the Greek Volunteer Guard, denied that they had participated in the massacre.

[21] In an interview with Al-Jazeera Katharios claimed that he had been telephoned at home by fellow volunteers who told him that they had raised the flag but had not taken part in the battle itself.
