Overview
Taking place just after the end of the Bosnian War, the series is mostly set in the Halimić brothers owned kafana named Složna braća, located on a small patch of UN-controlled territory (covering 0.0675% of the country's territory, i.e. 564 m2) not claimed by any of the three warring sides. Serbs, Bosniaks, and Croats, otherwise very hostile to each other following a ferocious war, regularly visit the said kafana in no man's land in order to arrange mutual black market activities (weapons and food trade, oil and cigarette smuggling, etc.).
When the word gets around about an important weapons shipment passing through the territory that can supposedly completely change the division of power in the Balkans, the place becomes a lively hub of deal-making and skulduggery.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Složna braća” as television series. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as television series. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7542186. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2022 and 1996.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
