Specialna Enota Policije

[5] SEP is utilised for counter-terrorism and other high-risk tasks that are too dangerous or too difficult for regular police units.

The establishment of the first unit started in 1973 as a direct response to the hostage crisis at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich and the infiltration of the armed terrorist groups inside the Yugoslav territory in the same year.

[3][6] After the break-up of the former Yugoslavia, the unit continues with performing the tasks and missions it was established for.

If the candidate passes these tests he is sent to the unit for seven months where his basic training begins.

In the third month, candidates face a 14-day test in which they are pushed to their physical and psychological limits.
