Koža (Кожа, lit. Skin) is a Serbian thriller drama television miniseries directed by Saša Hajduković and written by Nikola Pejaković. It premiered on RTS 1 on January 20, 2024 and concluded on February 18, 2024. The series is the third and final part of Pejaković’s unofficial Banja Luka trilogy, following the earlier series Meso (2017) and Kosti (2020).
Premise
After serving a lengthy prison sentence for drug-related offenses, Slobodan Milošević returns to his hometown of Banja Luka from The Hague. Once a gifted musician and student in the Netherlands, his life descended into heroin addiction and involvement in the Belgrade underworld. Upon release, he must confront the ghosts of his past—including the trauma of the Yugoslav Wars, betrayal by friends, and shattered relationships—while navigating a city transformed by time and war. The story explores his inner battle with addiction, trauma, and the quest for redemption in a fractured post-Yugoslav society.
