After a week of careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to step away from Los Santos Roleplay. Consequently, my tenure of approximately 14 years with The Valenti Crime Family will also come to an end. This decision was not made lightly, and I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to my growth and development as a roleplayer. Firstly, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to @Busato, whose guidance and friendship has proven absolutely invaluable throughout the years. Your dedication to everything that you do has been inspiring not only to me personally, but to us all. Secondly, I would like to thank Jord, whose forum name I can't find—but that's fine. He probably wouldn't know how to check his fucking notifications anyway. I met this motherfucker a long time ago when Philip Decavalcante (my character) and Nicholas_Diopare (his character) was still an associate and we would juice everyone's fucking heads together for the littlest of reasons. This man has helped me in my development a lot and some of my best and grittiest memories within Los Santos Roleplay have one of his characters standing next to mine, likely doing the killing or the cutting. (You sick fuck) Thirdly, I would like to thank @Voronov because while we have not ever necessarily had the opportunity to craft pure art together directly, your exemplary roleplay ability and ideology has helped me a lot through my progression from a luxurious muthafucka into a more luxurious muthafucka. In short, while you make absolutely the most horrible decisions when it comes to laptops, your influence has been profoundly impactful, and you deserve credit for that. Fourth, a special mention goes to @Adam_Ottone. Although not necessarily on Los Santos Roleplay anymore, you have and will always be Valenti. Your support through The D'Aquila Crime Family and giving me the opportunity to serve as a Captain for the first time have been incredible experiences for me. Granted, I fucking killed it but... it was you that provided me the opportunity. So I'd say you deserve at least a little credit. Fifth, I know @Francis_Giansello (I love you too motherfucker) will love me for this one but I'm a loyal motherfucker and will always be. Despite the opinions of him, Vincent Malacci who has helped me a fuck ton and I'll always have that Arab motherfucker's back even if it's me and him against the world. I doubt he'll ever get to read this as he's probably busy studying Hussein's history but I love you bro. Stay up. And thanks for all the hours of prank calls and laughs on Skype. Lastly, everyone else whom I've built an unbreakable fucking bond with (special shoutout to @Michael_Dippolito who is bald in real life but compensates by making hairline jokes). Watching people like @Peter_Genusa grow from Bellomo to Valenti has been an absolute pleasure and I would like to think that I helped a little with that development. Even if I probably haven't. I'd still like to think I did. Who are we kidding? Of course I did. I'm sure I did. I also have to give a special shoutout to @Sozza who has literally always been there for me through thick and thin. I love you brother! I have received numerous private messages from individuals both within and outside of Valenti, and I want to clarify my stance. I have loved, continue to love, and will always cherish The Valenti Crime Family. My dedication over the past decade is a testament to that loyalty and respect towards the faction and the people within it. Although there was a minor disagreement with the faction's administration regarding a particular scene and myself, I would need to be a fucking idiot to let that ruin the amazing experience I've had with this faction and the bonds I've built with the people within it. As I move forward, I urge you all to continue the legacy we have established. Maintain the standards of excellence and camaraderie that make the Borgata, the Borgata. What makes Valenti Valenti is not necessarily the above-standard roleplay ability but rather the fact that the people within it genuinely have love for each other and have always worked for the betterment of Valenti. Our ability to reach a common ground, even through heated disagreements is what kept this faction alive for so long. Respect to all the OGs that aren't with us anymore. (Probably literally and not literally). NB: This should also serve as my resignation from the Illegal Faction Team as well. The reason I was on Los Santos Roleplay was because I wanted to give the management one last chance to prove their worth and they've proved their worth (or lack thereof) with the alien event and the way they've been handling most issues. Thank you to those within Faction Management that tried working with me to better the server only to find a big fucking brick wall in front of us. Anyway, I'll be waiting at the next place for you all where @Adam_Ottone has very kindly prepared the future for us all. Fucking magician. 'Con rispetto Keep it luxurious Brigo

Serbian Transnational Criminal Organizations The Serbians? Some say they are back on track, while others say they are long gone. Transnational organized crime is coordinated across national borders, involving groups or markets of individuals working in more than one country to plan and execute illegal business ventures. In order to achieve their goals, these criminal groups use systematic violence and corruption. Common transnational organized crime activities include conveying drugs, weapons, trafficking for sex, toxic waste disposal, materials theft, and poaching. Serbian TCOs are politically and financially motivated groups that are responsible for causing significant financial harm to the United States each year. Unlike traditional organized crime groups, they tend to operate around ethnic associations and friendship ties. They also appear to be more agile, organic, and project-based. Serbian TCOs are adept at adopting new technological methods to enhance their illicit activities, thus increasing their ability to expand their criminal market base through cyber-enabled fraud. These groups engage in a myriad of illegal ventures including passport fraud, access device fraud, identity theft, healthcare fraud, real estate fraud, insurance fraud, money laundering, drug trafficking, human smuggling, prostitution, and extortion. Organized crime in the Balkans has its roots in the traditional clan structures. In these largely rural countries, people organized into clans with large familial ties for protection and mutual collaboration. Starting in the 15th century, clan relationships operated under the kanun, or code, which values loyalty and besa, or secrecy. Each clan established itself in specific territories and controlled all activities in that territory. The protection of activities and interests often lead to violence between the clans. The elements inherent in the structure of the clans provided the perfect backbone for what is considered modern-day Balkan organized crime. Many years of communist rule led to black market activities in the Balkans, but the impact of these activities was limited to the region. When communism collapsed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it led to the expansion of Balkan organized crime activities. Criminal markets once closed to Balkan groups suddenly opened, and this led to the creation of an international network. Within the Balkans, organized crime groups infiltrated the new democratic institutions, further expanding their profit opportunities. Balkan criminal organizations have been active in the U.S. since the mid-1980s. At first, these organizations were involved in low-level crimes, including bank robberies, ATM burglaries, and home invasions. Later, ethnic Albanians and Serbians affiliated themselves with the established LCN families in New York, acting as low-level participants. As their communities and presence have become more established, they have expanded to lead and control their own organizations, spreading across multiple states. There is no single Balkan “Mafia” structured hierarchically like the traditional La Cosa Nostra (LCN). Rather, Balkan organized crime groups transcended their clan-like structure to the United States. They are not clearly defined or organized and are instead grouped around a central leader or leaders. Organized crime figures maintain ties back to the Balkan region and have established close-knit communities in many cities across the nation.

I like it! Following.

Take care Brigone. This doesn't change the fact that your hairline is permanently shaped like the V in Valenti.

The Red Berets It's like a Council. They all have input on big decisions. The sudden disappearance of Bojan Lazarević and Dejan Kosovac resulted in Branko "Brane" Lazarević—under the fear of indictment—to leave the operation in Miodrag Krcmarik's hands and flee to Belgrade. Thus, preventing the latter from leaving for Serbia as well. Miodrag Krcmarik, who was no stranger in Los Santos, was able to put the pieces that were crumpled on Branko Lazarević's departure together and form another group of his own. During the '90s, Branko Lazarević had served under the Special Operations Unit called Црвене беретке (The Red Berets). This paramilitary group contained many of the upcoming noticeable faces in the organization, including Novak Blagojević, bringing their military training and war experience with them. With the right set of minds, the newer generation had been able to ascend and flourish of the remains of the previous network. With the financial aid and influence of Branko Lazarević, Miodrag Krcmarik was able to grow the organization in prominence. Upon the passing of Novak Blagojević due to natural causes, Branko Lazarević was left with no choice but to return, reclaim the organization and take hold of the Serbian-American operation again. With the sudden unrest, a lot of notable figures were found dead, including a prominent underboss in what is believed to be a power move made by Branko upon obtaining information that a coup was in the making. Under Branko's reign, the organization continued to grow in power and their influence on the streets of Los Santos was inimitable. Then came the new players on the table; Sergej Ljubić, Slobodan Milovanović, and Srdjan "Srki" Ljubić. Time passed by and the trio eventually managed to be a part of Branko Lazarević and his Council, which included Miodrag Krcmarik as well. The Council makes the input on all big decisions surrounding the operation in Los Santos.
