- Synopsis
- SABRE is a Political Thriller series based on real events in Serbia, 15 years ago. After the failed assassination of the Prime Minister on the State highway, it looks as if nothing has
  happened, at least in the eyes of the public. We find Danica (33) a young reporter on the rise, in the midst of one of her broadcasts, managing to get information using unconventional and radical methods. Nikola (45), a crime police inspector, finds out that the truck driver who blocked the Prime Minister's way
  on the highway is a known criminal. The trucker is not arrested due to seemingly late police reaction and the criminal clan immediately starts to prepare for the next assassination attempt. Davor (20), a loyal and rather unexposed clan member is given the task of driving the shooter.
  The Prime Minister is shot down by a sniper and the country plunges into chaos. The Provisional Government imposes a state of emergency and on a press conference announces that free reporting is forbidden and all information must come from
  them. When Danica realizes that no one wants to write about the true story behind the assassination, she starts her own investigation.
  The Government launches operation Sabre, during which a number of clan members are being arrested or shot by the police. Nikola finds a number of faults in the official version of the assassination.
  The clan members, unprepared for this operation and in panic, seek a way to flee the country. Davor tries to settle with the police, when he finds himself involved in kidnapping and brutally killing a cooperating witness. He realizes that he's got nowhere to run.
