Ljubiša “Mauzer” Savić (Serbian: Љубиша Маузер Савић; 11 August 1958 – 7 June 2000) was a Bosnian Serb war-time paramilitary commander and post-war politician.[1] He led the "Panteri" brigade (made famous by songs written by Roki Vulović) during the Bosnian War of 1992-1996. His actions in the war included the securing of Bijeljina to Republika Srpska forces as well as the liberation of the sieges of villages Smoluća and Tinja.
After the war, he became a chief-of-police in Bijeljina. He was killed in Bijeljina in 2000, due to suspected Gang violence in the city.
